Is there a DVD player application i.e. a graphical user interface for Ubuntu that plays ALL DVD Videos, encrypted, non-encrypted, home made DVDs, "CSS" DVDs?
Is it easy and straight forward to install and guaranteed to work?
(Obviously looked at VLC Player (won't play a commercial DVD I've got – does nothing, no error message), Movie Player (error message something like can't open/can't play). I've also looked at Xine, libCSS, MPlayer and the indication of how success they might work for all DVDs in their documentation seems vague, or the Synaptic package manager doesn't download everything, or there is a command line instruction which works for older versions of Ubuntu and/or it reports something missing, directory not found, or possibly assumes you've done something else beforehand.)

Just to Clarify, you just need to use these two commands:

After this, I usually use VLC to play the DVD, since IMHO, it's the best Media player out there.
