problems with flash (youTube) videos and VLC can't read DVDs

[Bill Stanley]

Hi,

I have recently installed Xubuntu 12.04 and am having some video 
problems.  The two problems are probably unrelated.

The first issue is the videos appearing on YouTube.  While I can view 
the videos, everything has a bluish color.  I read that this might be a 
problem with the Flash plugin.  Is there any solution to this problem?

The second problem involves VLC not being able to read (decrypt) DVD's. 
  I looked on VLCs website and they say that libdvdcss is needed.  I 
went ti the Ubuntu software repository and several packages say they 
install it.  I tried them and libdvdcss was not installed.  I used a 
file search utility and it could not find it anywhere on the system.  I 
need to properly install this.  What must I do?
