Can I put a DVD in my DVD-drive and check it or should I download some other programme together with Ubuntu? Example: Windows has mediaplayer. What does Ubuntu have?

Rhythmbox is the default media player in Ubuntu. But just like windows media player can't play DVD natively, you have to add some extra software. In Ubuntu make sure that you have Ubuntu Restricted Extras installed. If not you can install by just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Or you can use VLC. To download, and more info visit the Website

To install VLC just run
sudo apt-get install vlc
or use the software center. (It's a very would media player and comes with the "right" codecs.)– edwinAug 5, 2013 at 21:22
