Bug Description
I've been chasing my tail on this and nothing seems to help. I've reinstalled version 8.10 6 times now thinking that maybe I screwed something up with trying everything everyone has told me to do.
I got a clean video (though I have zero control while playing) by using this command, export DVDCSS_METHOD=title && mplayer dvd://
I have no clue as to why, no one seems to be able to tell me either. All I keep getting is EVERYONE telling me it's a codec issue. It can't be if i can get it to play via that code. it has to be a bug somewhere, a program not using the codec right or something.
Here is my other thread on the subject, swept under the rug I guess, --> http://
I have literally tried everything that I have found related to CSS, DVD playback and read over 500 different posts. Nothing has changed.
All players work via the command line, "player name dvd ://" (e.g. vlc dvd://) but not from anything GUI.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Please attach the output of
apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 mplayer
so we can see which version of libdvdcss and mplayer you are using.
I'm quite happy with
