Medibuntu codecs are not included in the Ubuntu default repositories.

Thus, libdvdcss2 is not included in ubuntu-resticted-extras.

Try also to install the package non-free-codecs from Medibuntu, if you are permitted to do so.


Did you perform a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04, or you upgraded via synaptic?
