How to install DVD playback capability

Note: The gstreamer dvd plugin is available as part of gstreamer0.8-plugins but may have a few bugs. However, Totem can also work with the xine backend (instead of gstreamer) to play DVDs. (Xine-UI and Mplayer also use the xine backend). This method allows using xine with Totem.

Install dvd modules:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread3
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

Install xine backend for Totem (if you are using Totem):

sudo apt-get install totem-xine

Finish installing modules:

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

================================

2) How to install MPlayer Multimedia Player

sudo apt-get install mplayer libxine-extracodecs

An MPlayer plug-in for Firefox can also be installed:

sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer

Run from menu:
Applications -> Sound & Video -> MPlayer

But... do get sound in Sound Juicer and Rhythm Box.Try tweaking the settings in just the applications that don't play sound. It seems a lot like you have to tweak the preferences to use Alsa or OSS. If for example Rhythm Box is using Alsa, then try switching the others to use Alsa too. This might be the issue? @tonimarieHmm, getting video but no sound in mPlayer and no sound in Amarok.
