Re: How do I get Ubuntu Studio to play dvds.
Try an ISO mounting app from the software center and play it like a regular DVD.

Re: How do I get Ubuntu Studio to play dvds.
I have the same problem. Tried several different mountig apps. In the best case, i got it mounted, but the image contained the ISO file... :/ (on 12.10 xubuntu i had no problem mounting the same file, nor to play it in VLC) Thankfull for an answer, Set H.

Re: How do I get Ubuntu Studio to play dvds.
I would like to add that when I was previously using Ubuntu Studio 10.10, I had much better luck with VLC and other programs in playing video DVDs, it seems that with 12.04 things are not quite the same. Probably because of moving from Gnome 2 to Xfce. I still prefer the old Gnome 2, but have managed to get the Xfce desktop more or less to my liking, the Cairo Dock is particularly helpful.
