OK, with the commands above you have added the medibuntu repository. That 
was the problem Karl had, so I only wrote that part. Now you still need 
to install the libdvdcss2 package. I should have added this command in 
the previous mail:

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

It can't show more because the DVD is encrypted. I think it should work 
after installing libdvdcss2.
