Could you include a screenshot?

I do apolagise, the symptom is more pixilated then when I first played it, although I have not rebooted for several days.

Do you have libdvdcss2 and libdvdread3 installed?

[Ken collinson (ken-rock3music)]

Hi
  I have the libdvdread3 installed, but not the 'libdvdcss2'

is this something i should download and install outside the ubuntu
'synaptic package manager' ?

best wishes
ken

Yes, it's a package for decrypting DRM'd DVDs, something the US DMCA
doesn't allow, but which is legal in other countries. For that reason,
it's not in Ubuntu's repositories. medibuntu.org has it.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
