see, in a more organized way, what we did to fix this issue of Ubuntu not reading DVDs. Play DVDs in Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04: We need to install few codecs required specifically to play DVDs comfortably. These are: libdvdcss2: to recognize DVD libdvdread4: to read DVD libdvdnav4: to navigate DVD Step 1: First step (actually optional) is to get VLC media player. You can install VLC from Ubuntu Software Center or using the following command in terminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntu vlc won't play dvd vlc Once you have it installed, install libdvdcss2. It used to come by default with Medibuntu repository. But since Medibuntu is no longer available, you will have to install this library from the VLC repository. Use the links bellow to install libdvdcss2: 32 bit libdvdcss2 64 bit libdvdcss2 Double click on the downloaded deb files to install it via Ubuntu Software Center. Alternatively, you can use GDebi to install .deb files more easily. Step 2: Once we have it, lets install libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4. Use the following command in the terminal: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 If the DVD play back does not work, try to set your region code. You can follow the instructions given here to set the region code. It worked for me without it. Suggested ReadKeep History Of Notifications With Recent Notifications AppIndicatorThat would be it. I hope that after completing all these steps, you would be able to play DVD in Ubuntu 14.04 (as well as in Linux Mint 17).

Weird, it mounts an Ubuntu-installation DVD, http://askubuntu.com/questions/712180/ubuntu-14-04-15-10-16-04-wont-mount-movie-dvd but doesn't mount movie DVDs. It used to work fine (with the same set of DVDs) when one day it suddenly stopped playing only movie dvds and reinstalling Ubuntu 14.04.3, as well as freshly installing Ubuntu 15.10 didn't help. EDIT: fresh install of 16.04 had the same issue. I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, libdvdcss2, libdvdread4, libdvdnav4, a couple of gtreamer-plugins, etc, etc., also regionset - all in vain. When I try the dvd with vlc I get ~$ vlc /dev/sr0 VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42) [0000000000ebe088] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 5.0.1 libdvdread: Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/sr0 for reading libdvdnav: vm: failed to open/read the DVD [00007f5b38000e98] filesystem access error: read error: Input/output error [00007f5b380011d8] core stream error: cannot pre fill buffer I am concluding I have some sort of hardware issue, but is it possible to affect only media DVDs? Does anyone have any suggestions? UPDATE: I tried with VLC directly $vlc /dev/sr0 a
2008, 10:57 PMI bought a DVD Movie (Dark Knight) and I want the iso on my computer. I can play the movie in vlc but when I run # dd if=/dev/dvd of=/home/user/Desktop/Bat.iso dd: reading `/dev/dvd': Input/output error 720352+0 https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1010331.html records in 720352+0 records out 368820224 bytes (369 MB) copied, 77.214 s, 4.8 MB/s Since dd http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/dvd-drive-wont-read-dvds-on-ubuntu-14-04-a-4175520310/ is a low-level operation, it makes no sense to me that the DVD plays but dd cannot simply read the 1s and 0s from the dvd. jbrown96December 13th, 2008, 11:02 PMThat's a strange device for your dvd player. Mine is /dev/scd0. Use the same device as listed in fstab cat /etc/fstab I can't remember if dd needs the device mounted or umounted, but you error reading should try both ways. You can always try using Brasero; I'm pretty sure it can make iso's. I prefer using command line tools, but it may be easier to go with GUI app. JohnGalt131December 13th, 2008, 11:05 PMThat's a strange device for your dvd player. Mine is /dev/scd0.

They purposely "corrupt" the data so it cannot be easily copied to reduce piracy. insane_alienDecember 13th, 2008, 11:09 PM/dev/dvd and /dev/scd0 will be the exact same device, just under two different aliases. /dev/scd0 will be the actual device /dev/dvd is mapped to it because its detected that there is a dvd there. jbrown96December 13th, 2008, 11:17 PMIf I remember correctly, that error comes up when you try to duplicate encrypted DVDs. They purposely "corrupt" the data so it cannot be easily copied to reduce piracy. This isn't true. dd makes a bit for bit copy, and encryption doesn't matter. While you won't be able to play the dvd unless you have some libraries to decrypt it, there won't be any problems making a copy. I don't really know what the problem is. What kind of filesystem are you using (if it's really strange, it might not support large files)? Could you try with another dvd? I'm sure you've tried this a few times; does it always fail at the same p
