Forgot to add: view the dvd using vlc. go Media>Open Directory navigate to that directory holding the dvd; get inside the directory and you will see a sub-dir called VIDEO-TS. RIGHT-CLICK on the video-ts JUST TO HIGHLIGHT - do NOT open it or anything; once it is highlighted put the cursor left-click on the open space (anywhere below the highlighted video_ts - this will leave video_ts highlighted; then click on Open (bottom right) and the dvd will play. In the past one could use kaffeine to play such a dvd but the latest versions won't do it hence the rather fiddly way of doing things using vlc.
