Burt It has just occurred to me that you may have to do
$ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get the codecs to play a DVD with VLC. It also includes things like the installer for the acrobat reader, flash and several codecs. The reason this is not installed by default is legal. The codec converters are illegal in some countries so it is up to the individual to make sure that the package is ok for them. Acroread can be used as a work-around to get a narration from an open office text document. There is no text to speech in Open Office yet so you export the file to pdf and use the acrobat narration. Alternatively $ sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2 will play many DVDs.
