You can view or modify the region code of your DVD drive with the regionset tool. For example, you cannot play a DVD published in Japan (Region 2) on a DVD player in the United States (Region 1) without changing the region code of the DVD player (unless you own a region-free DVD player). Region codes are a form of vendor lock-in. If your DVD player regularly locks up when you try to play back a DVD, your DVD player probably does not match the DVD's region code.

If after doing all this, you still get messages about not being able to play DVDs, check that the DVD drive has a region set (see below). Sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.shĪfter this, VLC will automatically use it. Then open a terminal window and execute:.

Install the libdvdread4 package ( no need to add third party repositories) via Synaptic or command line: (note: if you have installed *ubuntu-restricted-extras this has already been installed automatically for you) May also work for old releases, 9.04 onwards, that are no longer supported only if you have repositories on CD/DVD or somewhere.
