DVD Playback

I think Gutsy Gibbon is the worst release ubuntu has offered yet. Edgy gave me headaches, feisty was fine, but I am on my 4th fresh install of gutsy. NOTHING WORKS.

This is how I got DVD play back to work:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

also make sure you have libdvdcss2, and some other things.

I currently am unable to get menus working for dvds, and VLC will close if you try to load the dvd normally, but if I go to a certain title it will play. WTF? I never had any issues in my previous installations of ubuntu!!!!
