    • ]]>     DVD playback, unfortunately is not enabled by default on Ubuntu as DVD playback relies on some non free codecs. However enabling DVD playback on Ubuntu is neither a big or difficult process. It mostly requires the installation of a few packages from Medibuntu, a third party repository.

    How To enabling DVD Playback On Ubuntu

    1. We will first need to add the Medibuntu repository to the system software sources, open a terminal and copy the following:

    sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/`lsb_release -cs`.list –output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get -q update && sudo apt-get –yes -q –allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get -q update

    This command will add the repository, along with it’s required GPG key in one go

    2. Update your package index

    sudo apt-get update

    3. Install additional updates

    sudo apt-get upgrade

    4. Install the additional required packages

    sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdcss2 w32codecs

    That’s it, all you need, now you can sit back, and enjoy DVD playback through Totem or VLC, or any other movie player flavour that you sport.
