Ubuntu by default can play non-encrypted DVDs however the majority of DVDs today are encrypted. To get around this here is a three step procedure to get your DVD playback going. You won’t find CSS decryption in the repositories and this is why I want to share why it took me more than 30 seconds to get my playback going.

First off you need the libdvdread3 package so thats a sudo apt-get install libdvdread3. After that execute the shell script located at /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh. Then you can play your dvds freely. Enjoy!
