Is there a Linux media player that can handle commercial encrypted movie DVDs?
Posted on 05 April 2010 by Abidoon
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?

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