those commands dont work any more.
you need to change the libdvdread3 to libdvdread4 in both lines and it works great. DVD plays now with no problems.

Works great! But I had to remove the totem-gstreamer in the Synaptic Pakage Manager to get it working without conflict.

Thanks!

I am sorry, but this did not work for me. I am using Ubuntu 7.10. Totem keeps telling me "Are you trying to open a coded DVD without libdvdcss?" although that I have them installed.

This is the output from Totem when ran in terminal:

libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.1.7 from http://xine.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Attempting to use device /dev/scd0 mounted on /media/cdrom0 for CSS authentication
libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device.
libdvdnav: Unable to find map file '/home/molpsychist/.dvdnav/.map'
libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00fe0000. Regions: 1
