JC,
Hi...
First open a Terminal enter or paste gedit /etc/apt/sources.list at the bottom of that file add deb http://packages.mediubuntu.org/gutsy free non-free. Save and close. Now go and get their key by entering in the Terminal wget -q http://packages.mediubuntu.org/mediubuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -. Make sure you enter it as it is written.
Now download what you wanted.
Enjoy!

JC,
Hi...

The file /etc/apt/sources.list contains a list of the repositories from
where you can get packages to
install on your machine. This is done automatically when you enter
apt-get install <name of package>.
But you need to enable the sources in that list. You do that by
uncommenting the sentences starting with deb by
removing the # in front of deb. If you want to add a new repository you
add that repository's URL by appending
it at the end of the file as I told you above.

First create a back-up of that file incase you mess! Enter this in the
terminal:
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup

Secondly,this is the line you need to add at the end
of /etc/apt/sources.list "deb http://packages.mediubuntu.org/gutsy
free non-free " Without the quotes !!
In yours, you misspelled deb and did not add free non-free.
You might also want to uncomment all the lines ending in universe and
multiverse.

Now enter " wget -q http://packages.mediubuntu.org/mediubuntu-key.gpg
-O- | sudo apt-key add - " Again without the quotes!!
in the Terminal to get their key.

Now you can enter sudo apt-get update to update the repositories and
then
sudo apt-get install <name of package> to download and install the
packages.

Would you mind being a little clearer on what you want do...

Enjoy !

you asked to be a little clearer on what i want to do

all i want is to be able to watch dvds and the movie player doesn't let be go the my two cd drives

is there a easier way of doing that

?in windows you just download movie players
here i have a movie player eather i don't know how to use it
or it needs somethng
i can't under stand why i can't get to the dvd and just play it

JC,
Hello...again...

For legal reasons Ubuntu does not ship with software which enables you
to play your DVDs. But you can easily download and install one which
enables you to. I recommend vlc for the simple reason that that is what
I use and I am yet to find a format it does not play. And of course it
has a GUI.

Remember what I told you above about uncommenting the sentences which
start with deb in the /etc/apt/sources.list file ? Do that, especially
for those ending in multiverse,universe and restricted.
Then do an update by entering sudo apt-get update. Followed by sudo
apt-get install vlc.

vlc will be downloaded and installed on your machine and you can find it
under Applications >Sound&Video >vlc Media Player.

Keep us posted on your progress.
Good luck!

i did this and just don't know what i'm doing wrong
please tell me, show me
thanks

Did you go to the medibuntu website?
That's why I provided the link. They provide very clear and concise step-by-step instructions.
I don't see libdvdcss2 as a package you installed. This is very important to get DVD support working.
Just follow the guide at medibuntu and you'll be up and running in short order.

JC,
Hello...,

That is VERY correct, you only needed to enter y and hit enter and vlc
would have been installed! So, if you did not repeat that step.

About libdvdcss2, you will install that shortly after, so do not worry!

OK I HAVE THE VLC PLAYER INSTALLED

BUT CAN'T GET TO THE CD
MY TWO CD TRAYS DON'T COME UP

LIKE TOTEM

YOU SAID I NEED ONE MORE THING?

WILL THAT GET ME TO THE DVD OR TWO CD DRIVES I HAVE

IN TOTEM I SEE THE TRAYS BUT THERE GRAY NOT BLACK SO I CAN'T JUST PUT THE MOUSE ON IT AND HIT THEM AND GET THERE

JC,

Good,now that you have vlc installed. What exactly do you mean by not
getting to the cds trays?

To play your vcds just type vlc vcd:// in the Terminal and playback
should start immediately. Alternatively, you can open the vlc GUI
-Applications > Sound&Video > vlc media player- click on File > Open
Disc, then
in pop-up window click on the Disc tab. CHECK the vcd button and in the
entry field at the bottom CHANGE vcdx:///dev/scd0 :audio-track=0 to
look like vcd1:///dev/scd0 :audio-track=0. You might need to change
the '1' to '2' or just leave it empty whichever will work for you...

To play DVDs you will need to install the libdvdcss2 package.
In the Terminal type "wget -c
http://packages.mediubuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-2mediunbuntu4_i386.deb"

without the quotes!

...then install the package by entering in the Terminal:

sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-2mediuntu4_i389.deb

...and now to properly enable that package, enter in the Terminal:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

You are better off copying and pasting those commands.

To make vlc the default media player go to System > Preferences >
Removable Drives and Media, click on the Multimedia tab and in the entry
 fields where you see totem replace with vlc...

Enjoy!

HTH...

This SHOULD be:

You omitted the URL ie the line starting with http://...

You cannot install it before you have downloaded it, first complete the

DO NOT ENTER wget -c alone, enter---pasting would be a better option---
it with the URL, that is the line starting with http://...

JC, what I am saying is VERY simple. Paste this into your Terminal.

wget -c
http://packages.mediubuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-mediunbuntu4_i386.deb

from the command wget -c to the last word .deb on the URL. Get it?

But you are leaving the URL out. This should be one sentence...LIKE
THIS:

"wget -c
 http://packages.mediubuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-2mediubuntu4_i386.deb"

Do not include the quotes! DO NOT enter wget -c ALONE. ENTER wget -c
FOLLOWED by the URL ,the line starting with http://, then press ENTER.
And DO NOT try to type it in, you already made a MISTAKE! COPY AND
PASTE !!

AGAIN, DO NOT ENTER wget -c ALONE. Enter it FOLLOWED by the URL, the
line STARTING with http:// then and only then do you press enter. Okay?

It should be ONE SENTENCE. Got it? ONE SENTENCE...
