Hmmm... I've know I've got libdvdread, but not sure if it's 
libdvdread3 and I'm not sure how to find out (I'm a real newbie 
at all of this).

I installed mplayer but it did not work either. I forget exactly 
what problems it encountered. Everything I've tried has failed, 
but in slightly different ways. :-)
