Al Butler proposed the following answer:
do you have libdvdcss2 installed? (it does not install by default) You
will require this to play DVD video whatever type of drive you are
using.

Try this in a command line terminal:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list --output-
document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

I also recommend using VLC to play DVD video

To install VLC:
Open Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager). In Settings -> Repositories, make sure you have a "multiverse" repository activated.

Search for vlc and install it. You should also install vlc-plugin-esd,
mozilla-plugin-vlc.

Let me know if that works
