[Gloucs] Still problems with playing DVD's

[info at hbas.fsnet.co.uk]

Hi Christian,

I think you may find that this is a DRM (digital rights management) 
issue and the correct codecs will need to be installed on your distro 
(if the distro allows).

This is a major discussion point on the net at present, and Linus 
Torvalds commented on the issue back in 2003:

A google search will throw up a raft of items on the subject  and you 
will probably have to identify the particular codecs and install process 
for the specific DVD's you want to play.

Best wishes

Barrie
