Playing DVDs in Ubuntu

Ubuntu by default does not play encrypted DVDs. This is because most commercial DVDs are encrypted with CSS (Content Scrambling System), which restricts the software that can play a DVD.

To enable you must install the libdvdcss2 package to allow Ubuntu to play DVDs. For that you need to run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

Followed by:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

That will install the required libraries and now your encrypted DVDs will be readable.

Please Note: Check with your local laws to make sure that usage of libdvdcss2 would be legal in your area.
