VLC libdvdcss2 error: cannot get crack css key

[Roger Robertson Jr.]

Binary package hint: vlc

I am using Ubuntu Gutsy 64 bit on a Macbook. When I open VLC to play a dvd, it crashes. Opening VLC from terminal gives me the following errors:

VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus

I am also facing the same problem with exactly the same error. Any solutions?

The only way I could fix it was by setting the region on my dvd drive.

Since this was an issue of setting the region, i'm going to close this bug.
