brasero package

I can no longer copy DVDs with basero.

Asked by tylerwalt

I used to be able to copy DVDs with Basero. Now it will not even try and gives me the message.
This is a copyright disc, you need additional plugins to preform is function.

How do I install these and were to find them.

For this specific DVD you are using, Brasero cannot copy it because I would be illegal. There is software on the DVD preventing Brasero to copy it. I have no idea about what the additional plug-ins could be - if you find a plug-in to FORCE Brasero to do the copy for you then it would still be illegal which is not recommended.

Try installing libdvdcss2, it should allow you to read the dvd athough im not sure if it will let you copy it with Basero.
See /usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/ for more info
You may need to use a dvd ripper such as Thoggen.

Can you help with this problem?
