DVD Player in Dapper Drake

Hello,

I suppose that your problem is connected to restricted file formats in Ubuntu Linux and not a matter of player. So you need a pack of codecs in order to play restricted formats.

Go to this page and follow this HOW TO
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats

I have installed xine after trying lots of stuff.
It failed because it said there was no MRL
HOWEVER,
I then installed the totem-xine files. This meant unistalling the totem-gstreamer.
Totem now plays DVDs better than have seen it doing.
I used ogle with Badger
I doubt if it was codecs for ordinary dvd play but I am an ignoramus who just pushes buttons until I get what I want.

I had no problem getting realplayer 10 on board using that wiki url exept that I hate it. It handles bbc.co.uk stuff well enough,
Anthony

p.s. mplayer failed for me as dvd player too though it handls mp3 and cd and so on well

pps xine should go on using synaptic but the debs are at http://xine.sf.net/

I got it finally...wow, no wonder Linux can't catch on universally, b/c the
average person can't figure this stuff out. Why are there multiple
repository sites: multiverse, universal, etc? Why can't there be just one?

Anyways...thanks for your help guys!

it´s not a clear menu, but is possible to do it, you have to know the iso file route, and put it on open a video player.
