Hi,
down the private message I sent to someone of you. I`m asking help from everyone. Thanks a lot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I`m new in this forum. I read you are not able to play a DVD film on Linux. I`ve been going crazy with a problem that, if I`m not wrong, is your same one. I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my laptop (no dual-boot) a few days ago but I can`t play my films by using my favourite media player, VLC, and I unfortunately haven`t got another DVD player to use with a TV.
To sum up, I explain to you what`s happened / happens to me:
# sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libdvdread4 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Up to now, no problem.
But,
# sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

I`m not a great expert on using Linux, but I`m quite sure that this problem has been found by you and by other members of the forum. Can you confirm me that? I`ve not clearly understood if, at the end, someone found a way to solve the problem.
By the way, when trying to play a fim with vlc, for example "Scent of a Woman", I receive the following message
$ vlc /dev/sr0
VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be)

I visited a lot of websites on the lookout for a solution, but I discovered that lots of people had the same problem, even though nowhere I found a successful solution.
What would you suggest I do? I dont`t want to spend money buying a DVD player for TV, but I absolutely need to watch my films both because I like it and because I have to improve my English. Thanks very much. I look to a reply.
