[SWLUG] An error occurred

[Phillip Evans]

I always carry out the installation instructions as indicated by Matt 
every time I upgrade ubuntu/kubuntu & it always works perfectly with 1 
minor problem.

On my system, I have a DVD writer as the IDE master & a plain DVD reader 
as the slave. After installing the libraries etc, DVDs will play 
perfectly on the slave but on the master I always get the "Cannot play 
encrypted DVD" error message. This is not a problem as such but I am 
curious as to what causes this odd behaviour. Any ideas ?

Cheers

Phillip
