Sell, so far I have tried Totem (installed by default on my Ubuntu 
5.04 AMD-64), MPlayer, Ogle and VideoLan Client. None work.

Totem pops up when I insert a movie DVD, and then announces it 
can't play the DVD because of an "unspecified error."

MPlayer starts to play the DVD, a screen flashes up for about one 
second, and then the whole program disappears. Ogle and VLC do 
the same, except they don't even flash a screen up for a second. 
They just go away.

I'm pretty sure lbdvdread3 is installed. Also the other one, *css or 
something.

I can browse the files on the DVD, so reading the media is not the 
problem. All I can think of is that it's some security issue.
