No DVD Playback

[Phil Pinkerton]

Frustrating - I can play my entire (bought and paid for) DVD collection
on XP but none will play on Ubuntu/Kubuntu amd64.

I have a dual boot Acer Aspire AMD64 TL50 1.6GHz (Turion), ATI Radeon
Xpress 1100, 2GB DDR so the hardware is identical.

booting the latest kernel 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Fri Apr 13 20:39:41
UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

today
I  deleted All players and codecs then re-installed via Automatix2 (just
became available for feisty herd5 amd64).

yesterday
I deleted All players and codecs and re-installed via apt-get and adept
manager

All players and codecs I could fine have been removed and re-installed
more than once.

And still I get these messages:

NOTE:  I have libdvdcss2 installed ?  do I need to do a soft link or
something ?

TOTEM:
The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an
encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?

GXINE:
Media stream scrambled/encrypted

OGLE: tries to run but displays a zillion messages then quits:
WARNING[ogle_vout]: tried to write past line-end
**** DP remove this when implemented

*** invalid macroblock type

WARNING[ogle_vout]: tried to write past line-end
ctrl: ipc_rmid: Invalid argument

This worked on my older  i386 desktop PC by default with feisty 7.04
installed. I no longer have tis Pc available and I prefer not to boot
the other OS.

I would be most thankful for some ideas on what I am doing wrong.
