11.04: Video player cannot play dvd

Asked by peter

Hello

I got a DVD with a film. If I will play it with Totem (movie player) I'll get the following message:
Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed.

I installed gxine from Synaptic, I created a launcher (Type = Application) but I can't open it. It doesn't run.

What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
Peter

you don't need gxine. You need libdvdcss
