Re: [ubuntu-uk] Should ubuntu play DVDs gratis?

Andres,

www.fluendo.com

fluendo dvd player is a proprietary product which can play DVDs. Fluendo
also do a pack of codecs which include among others a plugin for Windows
Media format (unencrypted only). The codecs work for any gstreamer-based
player but not others such as mplayer, vlc or xine. Also the DVD player is
a separate app which doesn't enable DVD playback in totem or any other
player which you may prefer :-(.

 Is there a payable pakage I need install? I seem to recall one of the
 first things you could buy in the software centre* had something to do with
 this, f(…) something? Might be an option to buying a new DVD.

That's the one! I now have a price to compare with a new dvd $25 and fixing a 
noisy computer fan. And hating myself for letting 'the man' win with their 
propietary stuff. I prefer fluendo rather than being oblivious with a dvd 
player. 

Does that mean libdvdcss2 is ilegal in UK? Wikipedia says it has never been 
legally challenged.
