E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extra

sudp apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

This will install codecs but will not give you DVD playback

You need to add the medibuntu repo:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

then run:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

Can you help with this problem?
