Well, I think Totem/VLC still have some issues with certain DVD menu constructs, so there's that.
Also, libdvdcss2 is illegal in many parts of the world, so the Fluendo DVD player is your only legal option. Sure you could install libdvdcss2 anyway, and the likelihood of you being hauled in front of a court for it is minimal, but it's nice to have a legitimate option.

Companies and organizations that supply Ubuntu to schools and other large clients in the U.S. might also want to avoid any possible legal trouble. Result: thousands of Ubuntu boxes end up with a proprietary DVD player on it.
- thristian 15y agoWell, you don't strictly need to enable another repository. If you have VLC or Totem installed, then running: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh ...will set everything up for you.
