dvdubuntu-restricted-extras
I still can't seem to play movie DVDs on my Ubuntu 11.10 even after installing restricted extras and after trying this
This[a] is the error message that I get with movie player.
VLC doesn't play the DVD either.
What gives
[a]Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed.
Install VLC it works great
There is a daily build PPA from the VLC team, add it following these steps
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily
Update and upgrade / install VLC
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
Open terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run following command to install require dependencies :
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg gxine mencoder libdvdread4 totem-mozilla icedax tagtool easytag id3tool lame nautilus-script-audio-convert libmad0 mpg321 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
Restart may necessary.
WARNING: Run encrypted video on Linux is illegal, so make sure its legal on your area.

Since medibuntu is no longer available, you have to install libdvdcss2 manually :
wget http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/libdvdcss2_1.2.13-0_i386.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.13-0_i386.deb
Now encrypted dvd should run perfectly fine
