New to Kubuntu. I was a big fan of Mandriva for a long time. Then I got a new (used) laptop and Mandriva 2009.1 just wasn't working right. Then I gave Kubuntu 9.04 a try and I am staying put. Very nice job. Fantastic.
However, I am experiencing one sticky issue: encrypted DVD playback. I have one DVD from my huge library that will not play back. I have done all the installing of libdvdcss2 and such. It is only one DVD that remains encrypted. My DVD player will play it, just not my laptop (an HP nc8230).
The DVD is "Porco Rosso" released by Disney. I have other Studio Ghibli /Disney films and they play. Films from Paramount play fine. Films from Warner Brothers play fine. Just not this _one_.
My player of choice is VLC. The DVD navigation works great. I can even view the trailers. Audio is fine. But when the main video is played, the image is corrupted and the audio is fine. Dragon and other players just fail utterly and complain about it being encrypted.
I tried various settings in the VLC rc file to select key, disk, or... whatever the third option was, and none of that helped. I made sure the DVD drive was programmed to my region (1), too.
Any ideas?
