When ever I try to play a DVD, Totem reports that there is no plugin to play the movie. Does this mean the CD-Drive drivers are incorrect, or do I need to download some extra plugins before I can play DVD's?
you don't have any xine dvd plugins installed. Totem is a different frontend for xine (meaning it uses xine to play it's movies). Xine is a pretty standard video player in linux. another example of a xine frontend is kaffiene, which is KDE-specific (i'm guessing, hence the "k" instead of "c"). I'd start at the xine homepage (http://www.xinehq.de) and learn as much as possible.
I am a newbie in Linux world. I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop. I am not able to play a DVD on Ubuntu 9.10.
