Okay, here's the kicker: I upgraded to 9.10 and tried playing DVDs
again. No dice. The only difference this time was this:

[ 1406.593479] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Add. Sense: Read of scrambled sector
without authentication

Then I thought - just out of despair - maybe it's the DVD and tried my
whole collection (11 DVDs - I know). The result: 5 don't play, 6 do.
Some of the 5 that don't play are marked "copy protected", some aren't.
This sounds like kind of a success but given that I could play any of
these a few Ubuntu releases ago still leaves a taste. Especially since I
now own store bought copies of "Serenity" and "Matrix" that I can't
watch anymore. (BTW: so sad they never made a sequel to Matrix.)

What I don't get is that even though libdvdread is installed I can't
read these DVDs.
