Unable To Watch DVD's
 
I am using Debian Lenny and have Totem (Movie Player) installed however when I throw a movie DVD into my DVD-ROM, I am unable to watch it and was wondering how I can do so? I would like to not download MPlayer or anything else as I would think Totem is sufficient and it just needs GStreamer plugin to watch movies but I don't know what exactly I need and or where to get it.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Do you have libdvdcss installed? You can get it from the debian-multimedia.org repo. I would also suggest installing the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-full package from the same repo.

Note that libdvdcss is not available for 64 bit! I've tried building it from source, but that failed for some reason (can't remember the errors though)

Thanks!

I am using Lenny (32-bit) simply because Flash is crucial in my day - day survival.

As for your suggestion, where do I find that repo? I searched and could not find the correct repo to add so I can apt-get the packages you suggested. Currently my source file looks like this:

Code:
cwilliams@cwilliams:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

You just need this part:
Code:
# Testing
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
#Testing Security updates
#deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib

THen search for the package.

just for future searches..

edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the debian-multimedia repository.

http://www.debian-multimedia.org/
Code:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
substitude etch/lenny/sid or stable/testing/unstable as appropriate for your system.

aptitude update
aptitude install debian-multimedia-keyring
aptitude install libdvdcss2
