Movie player won't go UBUNTU 10.10

Asked by Tony Gower

The UBUNTU SYSTEM recognises a movie DVD and suggests "movie player" as the relevant application but "Movie Player" itself does not recognise the DVD as a movie. When "play" is selected the message "An error occurred" / "could not read from resource" appears. I have tried several DVDs with no success. I have installed UBUNTU 10.10 (maverick) with all additional software indicated on the installation disk.
