Hi Phil,

for all those formats that are non-free or in any other way restricted (ie. wmv, mp3, avi, encrypted dvd's) you will need to install some codecs. You can find some useful information at

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats

If you're using breezy badger, you might also want to

sudo apt-get install totem-xine

With those codecs installed, playing back dvd's should work like a charm.

Enjoy Ubuntu and have a nice day!

Michael
