DVD Playback

[Matt Nicholson]

1). I would not recomend Automatix, it can set you up to have problems with
upgrades in the future.
2). Mplayer error is almost certainly this :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/65165
you can fix it by going to prefrences and switching it to X11 or something
similar.

3). I generally install all of the plugin packs for gstreamer (ugly,bad,
good, and the multiverse variants of each), and have 0 problems playing much
of anything. I must admit, I canot remember the last time I played a DVD on
my desktop, however.

sorry, in a bit of a rush, otherwise i would have provided the actual
package names.

cheers,
