I am experimenting with 8.10 via Wubi on a ThinkPad Z60m prior to
backing up my personal data, formatting the drive, and installing
Ubuntu as the sole operating system on that machine.
So far I have been unable to get DVD playback to work. I've tried
multiple movies using Totem, and always get the same error, "unable
to read source." Last evening I installed VLC (sudo apt-get install
vlc) and also libdvdcss2, but was unable to view any DVD I tried.
VLC just doesn't work, no error messages are displayed.
Is there a "feature" in Wubi that prevents DVD playback? I really
want to convert this machine from XP to Ubuntu, but from time to time
it is pressed into service as a DVD player, and I want some assurance
I'll be able to use it that way.
tia,
Mark
