Movie Player doesn't play commercial DVD, says I may not have permission to open the file

[BelovedConsole]

Don't know package, whatever came with Ubuntu 9.04 "J/J"

System offered Movie Player when it recognised commercial DVD of The Wire.

Expected to start playing, prepared to select Full Screen

Got:

An Error Occured:

Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file.

Yet I can download stuff and it simply asks for my password? Why not just ask for my password, here? (even though it shouldn't, to play a movie).

Thank you.
