MPlayer hangs when trying to play a DVD.

Sun May 20 15:24:00 UTC 2007

I followed the information located at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...ts/PlayingDVDs 
and I can now play my DVD in MPlayer.

I already had the libdvdread3 package installed
however I did not have libdvdcss2 installed.
After installing the libdvdcss2 package, MPlayer
played my DVD.

I could see this portion of Ubuntu being a big
frustration for someone who is using Ubuntu for the
very first time. Hopefully this functionality will
become standard in Ubuntu.

Now I need to figure out why the sound seems low even
when the volume is all the way up.

Thank you for your help,

*Nick*
