Hi Bill

I guess that's because the DVD is encrypted. You need some library installed
to decrypt it. I think you need to issue something like this on
command-line:

sudo aptitude install libdvdread3
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh


It should also be noted that Video on standard DVDs (and Digital TV) use licensed MPEG2
compression format. More at:

So, I put the DVD into the reader and double clicked on it.

The message was that codecs were needed. I expected this and told it to go
fetch. Which it did. And installed them.

Started again. The DVD began to play (Copyright warning, BBC flowing logo).

Then a message "Cannot read from the resource".

Can anyone tell me what went wrong, please?

Running Intrepid on a Fujitsu laptop.

Uh, the DVD was "The Best of Spike Milligan". That may have to be taken
into account.

Bill Bennett.
