May be you haven't had the codecs for playing dvd's. Try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss package from medibuntu. Please try the following 3 commands. Hope this helps...

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2
