How to install DVD playback capability

gstreamer dvd plugin is available as part of plugins-bad (or ugly?) and does not work reliably. However, Totem works with the xine backend to play back DVDs. This will keep you going until gstreamer gets dvd playback. Note that you do not have to install xine-ui or mplayer.

   sudo aptitude install libdvdread3

  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

  sudo aptitude install totem-xine

   sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2
