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

With the change to libdvdread4 this works great. Thanks! My wife worked a few hours on this before we found this site!

In Ubuntu 10.04 the package is libdvdread4 instead.
When it comes to DVDs I recommend VLC as the media player.

Thank you shamanstears for this post and Raven for posting the libdvdread4 change. That did the trick…I struggled for a couple days trying libdvdread3 reading older posts. I had all the Gstreamer plug-ins with the exception of fluendo checked off in Add/Remove programs prior to cutting and pasting the command line above with along with the correction…not sure if that helped but I am officially up and running in Ubuntu Juanty with an old Dell P4 1.8Ghz,…everything works..wireless drivers, printer and now dvd. I may never go back to MSFT. Thanks again.
