[xubuntu-users] DVD/CD issues

[Paul Donlan]

Hi. Not sure if this will help you but here it goes:

Regarding downloading Medibuntu, see:
http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-add-medibuntu-repository-in-ubuntu-via-terminal-and-gui/

Regarding playing DVD in VLC or any player other than Parole, what I do is  
first open the media player I want to use, then I insert the DVD into the  
drive and (at least on my machine) it then automatically opens the movie.
