DVD won't play in Totem 2.26.1

Asked by Toonces

Binary package hint: totem

I'm new to Ubuntu and I don't see an adequate reply as to why the DVDs won't play in Totem 2.26.1.

If I need to purchase a codex like I did for Windows, please state as much.

Thanks,

Todd

If VLC or Totem doesn't work, and you want to watch dvd movies or play downloaded flv video files in Ubuntu,
Google for "flv flash Totem internal data stream vlc undf"
... it's better to install everything in 32 bit, even if you have a 64 bit machine, as there are something missing in 64 bit depository like drivers, codecs,...

Can you help with this problem?
