Playing DVDs in kubuntu

[donaldhenderson]

Hi
I am totally new to (but loving) both linux and kubuntu, but am having trouble playing shop-bought (encrypted) DVDs on kaffiene.
i have googled it but come up with loads of jargon i cant understand.
can someone please give me a really basic (patronising) account of where to go and what to do to get the dvds to play.

cheers
donald

Re: Playing DVDs in kubuntu

Run Adept (Package Manager)
Enable Universe AND Multiverse repositories in your list
Do a search and install of a package named libdvdread
Then, search and install package libdvdcss
Run Kaffeine and enjoy your DVDs

If your unsure how to do all this. You should probably start by reading this:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html
followed by this:
