btw, instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs were followed and libdvdread4 is installed properly.
just installed VLC and i do not know why, but VLC plays the DVD correctly. gnome mplayer not playing dvd yet. workaround from comment #11 is working to make gnome mplayer play dvds correctly. however the workaround breaks VLC. error message is: Playback failure: DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/dvd1". Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd1'. Check the log for details. tks, ibere -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098323 Title: Parole failes to play DVD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parole/+bug/1098323/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
