Problem solved. Your welcome.
You really need to be a little more specific to make it possible to help you. What program are you using to try to watch DVDs. Is there an error? etc. etc..

How are you launching it? Are you launching Totem and clicking play disk? Check /var/log/messages for any errors related to totem. That is a good place to start. Also make sure libdvdcss and the other dvd related libraries are installed. Strange that it doesn't give you an error. Check to make sure /dev/dvd exists and if it doesn't exist make a symbolic link from /dev/dvd to /dev/hdd (or whatever device your dvd-rom drive is listed as on your system).
