I have done the regionset thing, but the drive doesnt find a dvd when I do. I have added the css file I have tried manually mounting the drive and get
Failed to mount '/dev/sr0' to '/media/apt/' E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture?
I have a brand new hp probook 4430s. I wiped windows and installed ubuntu. Some dvd's have played, and some havent and there seems no rhyme or reason to play or not. (I still have a list of dvd_css's in the .dvdcss file.)
I have read pages and pages of helps trying to find the answer and as yet no answer has fixed my problem

There was a disk (RV with robin williams) in the drive at the time. Using VLC, I set it to open /dev/dvd2 (as thats the address of the drive it seems) instead of the default /dev/dvd and got this error:
Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/dvd2".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd2'. Check the log for details.
