Note: In some parts of the world using DVD playback is not legal.
Installing DVD playback is Very Easy. You’ll need to install the Seveas Repository before you’ll have access to it
First you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list using the following command
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
and enter the following sourcelist save the file and exit
deb http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl edgy-seveas all
deb-src http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl edgy-seveas all
Now you need to copy the key using the following command
wget http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/1135D466.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Update your source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
Install libdvdcss2 using the following command
sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2
or, if you prefer not to install Seveas repository you can run the following command to automatically download and install the appropriate files
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/./install-css.sh
