Is there a Linux media player that can handle commercial encrypted movie DVDs?

Question

The medial player that came with my linux computer can handle un-encrypted mocvie DVDs, like Digiview and PCTreasures just fine, but can't deal with encrypted recent releases. But I have'nt found any answers that specifically address a player that will handle encrypted movies.

Any suggestion on specific linux players, and possible download sites?

Answer 1

Most Linux media players will play DVDs if the libdvdcss package is installed.  Search the internet for a prepackaged version for your particular linux distro.  If you are using Ubuntu, it can be found in the Medibuntu repositories  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibu...

Follow the instructions there and you should be on your way.
