The Movie I was trying to play is a DVD called, "The Fountain" with Hugh Jackman & Rachel Weisz and is in Dual Layer Format but it used to play on my DVD player which is a Matshita DVD ram UJ 8455, when I had the XP operating system. I have a Acer 5670 Laptop Computer if that helps.

I went into Snaptic Package Manager and asked for package updates and that took care of my problem. I am still pretty new to the Linux, & Ubuntu 7.10 system and program.
