Comment 8 for bug 502426

Same problem on my new Powernote W870 (Clevo) with Blue-ray reader and DVD writer running Karmic 64 bit version. Tried to install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu, had both ubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu-restricted-extras, installed libdvdread4 and tried the shell script /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh that downloads libdvdcss2 and installs it, but the problem persisted. Interesting to note that on my older notebook that runs the 32 bit version of Karmic, running the same script mentioned before worked just fine!

Looking dmesg, there are references to problems with DVD region (very similar to those people posted above), so I (partly) solved my problem using the regionset program and ajusted region to 4 that corresponds to most of my DVD disks. But now I can only change my drive region 4 times (5 times total allowed by firmware). Well, did this just to get the confirmation that libdvdcss2 is not doing its job!

Apparently libdvdcss2 is buggy on karmic 64 bits !!!
