I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras. This had no effect.
The VLC player has the same problem. The dvd drive works, and I can see the file folders and files on the dvd, but when I try to play one, it won't play them.
I tried other DVD's in the drive. A friend's DVD, Red Versus Blue, which is a non-copyrighted dvd, played fine. However, "The Patriot" had the same problem.
This makes me think it has something to do with copyright protection.
