Problem with Matshita DVD drive

I've recently acquired a Lenovo 3000 C200 that system detects it as
SCSI,  is a     DVD-RAM UJ-850, MATSHITA. I could play with no problems
the first time a DVD movie with libdvdcss2. But now, play no more
DVD's, it's as if libdvdcss2 was not installed. I've tried with
different DVDs, and problem it's the same. I tried also, with several
players: totem, kaffeine, vlc, mplayer, etc and problem remains.



Output of several files:

Before of thinking of a hardware problem, I want to discard a
misconfiguration. I've noted that BIOS refer to DVD drive as IDE.

I have installed libdvdcss2 as dpkg -l shows:

ii  libdvdcss2     1.2.9-2medibuntu2+build1 Library for accessing DVDs
like block device usind deCSS if needed

kernel version is  2.6.20-16-generic

I am a bit desperated, please could you help me to find a solution?

Note that I can see content of dvds but not play movies :(

Thanks in advance
