Check out this page for additional information on Ubuntu and restricted media formats.

So, you've bought a DVD-ROM from the Thrift Store, and you want to play DVDs on your FreekBox. You'll need to install a few programs in order to make it work.

  1. Physically install the drive, paying attention to whether the drive should be master or slave. If you replace the CD drive, the DVD drive must be set to master or cable-select.
  2. uncomment the universe deb lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. apt-get update
  4. apt-get install totem-xine libxine*
  5. run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
