Interressting because the ubuntu man pages ,( which is the first google
result for "play dvd ubuntu") suggest to launch the DVDread script which
install the libdvdcss deb.

Why not ( a bit like for codecs) suggest that if it's legal in your
country ( which is in France, for example  ) , you could just Hit the
right Button , and the other button would redirect to teh ubuntu Store
for Buying Fluendo DVD .


if it's too risky , at least explain and propose to buy the fluendo DVD player, current situation is ridiculous and all the work at fluendo is then useless ...

Title:
  Totem should notify users about installing libdvdread3 and libdvdcss2
  to read encrypted DVD

Bug description:
  Without libdvdcss2, Totem, VLC, and others are unable to play my
  original DVD-s. I know it's illegal to ship Ubuntu with libdvdcss2,
  but it could be in multiverse repos, and totem's plugin installer
  could install it, OR add the medibuntu repo to the list (but leave
  unchecked), then Totem's plugin installer should give a hint, to use
  that repo's libdvdcss2 to play your DVDs. Newbies wont find out how to
  solve this problem by theirself, go back to win, and then it will be
  harder to solve the bug #1 :)

  -------------------------------------
  Desired solution:

  When a user tries to play a dvd, a dialogue should pop up displaying
  the following message:

  "The DVD you have inserted cann't currently be played because the
  supporting software has not been installed. This is because it is not
  legal for Ubuntu to distribute this software in some countries. If you
  are certain that it is legal for you to install this software in your
  country, you can install it now. Would you like to install it now?

  <yes install now> <no thanks>"
