This works, the case if it doesn’t work is that now there is libdvdread4 instead libdvdread3. so please use sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
instead. It worked for me.
I’m using Ubuntu 11

This doesn’t work for me (Ubuntu 9.04). I just discovered the new version (libdvdread4) is in the Restricted Extras package, which means from this release on you should tell your terminal to do THIS:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

Remember to restart after doing this guide! It won’t work until you do so!

This guide didn’t work for me, but I tried , which told me to install

Turns out I was missing these: ubuntu-restricted-extras gstreamer0.10-esd gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mpegdemux

I installed those, rebooted, and magic! I can watch DVDs now!

Hello,

I got commercial DVD playback on my computer working. Thanks a lot! Although I must mention that I also had to use” sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh” instead, to get things working.

8.10 the command is:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

Correction for the 64-Bit Instructions:
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
should be used on version 8.04 and probably higher.

I have Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty… However, in your instructions, the filepath is wrong. I had to use..
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
..instead. The examples folder was nonexistent.
