Simon's Mess » dvd http://www.simonsmess.com A mess of ideas and things I want to share Sat, 10 Dec 2011 14:46:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 DVD playback with Ubuntu http://www.simonsmess.com/2008/02/02/dvd-playback-with-ubuntu/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dvd-playback-with-ubuntu http://www.simonsmess.com/2008/02/02/dvd-playback-with-ubuntu/#comments Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:40:40 +0000 admin http://www.simonsmess.com/ubuntu/dvd-playback-with-ubuntu/ This was one feature I never got working until just a few minutes ago, even though I tried a couple of times !
Thanks to sebz, and a shared Google Reader item, the following article explains you how to do that !
Since it is really simple, here are the two commands you need to type in a terminal to get your DVDs running :
sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

Right after that, insert your DVD in your drive, and you should be on the road for some classic DVD watching on your favorite free open-source OS !
For the record, I even successfully played the DVD from french comic Jean Marie Bigard, which was impossible on Windows XP !
PS: Sorry Vince, you were right, it IS simple to play DVD … Once you know the correct configuration ;-)
