Bug Description

I've just re-installed Ubuntu 9.10 as a dual boot with Windows 7 and find that the DVD player will not work with Movie Player or VLC - yet VLC works fine on Windows, so the drive is okay. I've downloaded the restricted extras and checked to see if the codecs etc. are installed, and they are. So what gives? Haven't had this problem with previous installations of 9.10. I'm using a Dell InspironPP41L, which has a Matashita DVD unit. Any solutions out there?
