Is this supposed to be some kind of joke, and I missed the punch line ?
Or maybe another Ninja bot ? I mean first it posts this at bunsenlabs , then
it comes here and copy/paste the same title , same post,....
Video DVD
You can use many video players on Debian to read video DVDs, including VLC, Xine (or players with a Xine backend, such as totem-xine) or MPlayer. Since most DVDs are protected by CSS (Content Scramble System) you will require the installation of libdvdread4:
# apt-get install libdvdread4
libdvdcss2
libdvdcss is required for the decryption of CSS protected-DVDs. This cannot be obtained from the Debian repositories due to licence restrictions in various countries. Please also read the /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/README.css file.
There are various sources for libdvdcss2:
from the libdvd-pkg package (available in contrib starting from stretch and jessie-backports): this is an helper package that downloads, checks and compiles the sources from upstream and creates a .deb package.
as deb directly from the project's homepage videolan: see http://download.videolan.org/debian/
compiled from source from videolan http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/
Read the file INSTALL and follow the instructions, e.g.
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
from the unofficial repository deb-multimedia.org
