Comment 4 for bug 34979

I went for a normal Ubuntu installation with Totem as the default Movie Player,
added a few Gstreamer plug-ins via 'Add/Remove'
but I still cannot play my DVDs anymore. All this used to work under Feisty.
(Very frustrating to see no progress on the DVD playback front...How am I supposed to spread Ubuntu if basic stuff like that doesn't work?)

At first Totem recognized that additional plug-ins were missing and started the automatic codec installation process.
Once that completed it still complained with this error message:
Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because it does not have the appropriate plugins to be able to read from the disc.

Then I started Totem from the command line and this is what I saw:

me@my-dell:~$ totem
sh: jackd: not found

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:710 ***
*** for cell_playback[i].first_sector <= cell_playback[i].last_vobu_start_sector ***

*** Zero check failed in ifo_read.c:731
    for cell_position[i].zero_1 = 0x04

** Message: Error: Could not read from resource.
