need help with vlc player for linux?

beanie_bab

I'm new to linux and I'm using ubuntu. I tried playing dvd's using vlc and they won't play. No idea what I'm doing, could use some advice. I also have virtual box installed but I could't get the dvd to play on that either. It said I had no compatible players installed. Please help!

Answer
DVD playback doesn't work with Linux out of the box due to no "libdvdcss" package included for copyright reasons. You need to go to System > Administrator > Synaptic Package Manager and look for "libdvdcss" and install it.

Would it be possible to put linux on a portable dvd player?

Something like ipodlinux that would accommodate its limited controls. Any specific linux flavors, or would it require a new one altogether?

Answer
I think your talking about a live DVD which allows you to boot your linux distro without touching your hard drive,.

Many flavours have live dvd's
