I've gone into Synaptic and gotten everything related to Blu-Ray and rebooted. No useful changes took place. I'm certain changing desktops will not make difference (i.e. trying Mate, XFCE  or Cinnamon). Where can the DeCss files for Blu-Ray be downloaded for Linux and would that make any difference?

Secondly, have you read this:
