Enabling Ubuntu to handle DVD playbacks

Want to watch your favorite movies on you Ubuntu Frankenstein, here is a few tinks I found. 

How to enable DVD playback in Ubuntu 9.10

 

Using the Terminal


 Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 (i386, amd64)



Open the terminal from Applicationsaccessories, and click the terminal icon.

 

Within the terminal type this:

 

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

After this completes, type this command:

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

When that has completed, type this command:

sudo apt-get install vlc

This install will take up 528mb of space. Once this execution finishes, go to applicationssound and video and click VLC

Notes:

apt-get – means find application to install

install – command to install application

any value following the install command is the app that will get installed. Again this is how you install apps using the terminal enjoy.
