[ubuntu-uk] Should ubuntu play DVDs gratis?

[Daniel Llewellyn]

Andres,

www.fluendo.com

fluendo dvd player is a proprietary product which can play DVDs. Fluendo
also do a pack of "codecs" which include among others a plugin for Windows
Media format (unencrypted only). The codecs work for any gstreamer-based
player but not others such as mplayer, vlc or xine. Also the DVD player is
a separate app which doesn't enable DVD playback in totem or any other
player which you may prefer :-(.
