To play an Encrypted DVD on Ubuntu (and resolve one of these msgs)
(worked of me on 11.04 and 11.10)

Acidrip: 'Can't Read DVD Track. Faulty Disc'

VLC: 'Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed'

Need to install libdvdcss2

Do this in a terminal by simply:

Code: Select all

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

then

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
