Hello, though I have not done it for a while, I had 10.04 running on an old mini-pc, hooked up to a big CRT monitor and speakers. I could play DVDs from all regions on this without issue, Japanese for instance. I did this using the method detailed above, basically installing libdvdcss on the machine. VLC happily just played whatever it was told to from there. Should be as simple as copy/pasting the commands into a terminal window, pressing "y" when apt-get asks and following the instructions for installing libdvdcss. Tl;DR Yes, pasting those commands in should work fine. -- Regards, Kris Douglas. www.krisd.eu -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
