sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
apt-get install regionset
But still not able to play just normal bought DVD movie.
VLC does not recognise output/input
Any suggestions please.

It sounds like libdvdcss2 is missing, libdvd4 also relies on libdvdcss2.
medibuntu used to provide libdvdcss2 but ubuntu restricted extras does not
medibuntu is no more and VLC now packages libdvdcss2
Check your countries laws some do not allow you to install libdvdcss
Since vlc is installed try
sudo apt get install libdvdcss2
If that fails
Option 2 install the latest libdvdcss2 via a .deb
Here is the AMD 64 .deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/libdvdcss-dev_1.2.13-0_amd64.deb
Here is the i386 http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/libdvdcss-dev_1.2.13-0_i386.deb
option 3 go all out and compile vlc from source adding libdvdcss2 and blueray support http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2141949
