FIXED:
Problem is two fold. First do the following to get the correct drivers:
...do this first...
sudo apt-get install totem
...then...
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
...then...
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
This should fit the bill and get your DVD player to read all DVD's.
The second problem is my controller card. An old Intel on the MB (OLD Compaq
machine).
Fix this with:
(as root or sudo it...)
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Replace the Device section with: (assuming generic Kubuntu install)
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
# Driver "i810"
Driver "intel"
# BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "VideoRam" "65536"
Option "CacheLines" "1980"
Option "LinearAlloc" "8160"
EndSection
Although all you need really is the options to solve "BadAlloc" messages
and slow/stutters of the DVD
Then:
sudo apt-get install vlc
VLC works the best as a player.
Xine works but you have to tweak the settings a bit.
MPlayer uses xine, thus teaks.
Dragon Player work well - some interlace.
Totem works very well.
Enjoy.
