When I try to play video DVDs on Ubuntu 11.10 always get this error message: "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed." I tried to solve this with adding restricted-extras and libdvdcss2. But i still get this message. Any ideas to fix that?
