Added hundred paper cuts as I feel this is a major issue with new users. I have read many articles written by journalists who are discovering Linux for the first time via Ubuntu, and they have all commented that playing a DVD film just doesn't work, and the OS doesn't offer any help to allow this.
I feel like this is something that could be solved fairly easily and would make new users have to do a lot less work to get a DVD going. I realise, however, that this is an issue that needs to be carefully debated, as it's not FOSS we're talking about here... but I'd like to offer it for discussion to the hundredpapercut team.
