How do I play DVDs in Ubuntu 16.04?
I need to watch a DVD for school, but when I try to watch it in VLC, I get this error:
Playback failure:
VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc.
Playback failure:
VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///media/curticegough/PHYSICAL_DVD_3/VIDEO_TS/'. Check the log for details.
If I open it in nautiuls, I get this error:
This location could not be displayed
Sorry, could not display all the contents of “PHYSICAL_DVD_3”: Error
when getting information for file
'/media/curticegough/PHYSICAL_DVD_3/VIDEO_TS.IFO': Input/output error
I already know about DRM and what it is, but I don't know how to get around it.
I also already have all of the usual codecs, including libdvdnav4, libdvdread4, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, dvdcss2, ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvd-pkg.
I also have regionset installed just in case I need to use it for some reason.
How do I play my DVD???

@George Yes I have. But that shouldn't matter. VLC should do just as much as Ubuntu's player would and more.

According to this site , you must run
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss libdvdread4 libdvdnav4
in a terminal, then open VLC, and open the disc. Keep in mind the the packages are non-free.Also if that doesn't work, try
sudo apt-get install libdvd-pkg
which is the instructions for Ubuntu 15.04 and later according to this site.
You might also want to try a different disc, to check if it is your computer or the DVD itself. Rebooting may also help.
If all else fails, try using something like brasero to create an ISO of the disk, then open the ISO in VLC. Keep in mind that it may take a while.
