Ubuntu – Ubuntu 14.04 LTS recognizing but not playing DVD Movie

14.04dvd

so I enabled the restricted DVD codecs on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and my DVD reader/writer recognizes the THE_MATRIX dvd, but it does not show any contents as if it were empty.

Any suggestions?
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 installed
as well as
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

Best Answer

Install ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdread4

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

then run this command.

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

now open up VLC

Click on Media --> Open Disc untick No disc menus then click play.
