DVD Playback for Ubuntu 10.04

DVD playback in Ubuntu has always been a little bit of a pain. Here is how to do it in a couple of easy steps.
First you need to make sure you have all the goodies that were not included in Ubuntu 10.04.
# sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
This will give you the codecs you need and some other goodies. Next you have to manually set up the ability to read DVDs.
# sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
Now just pop in your DVD and you should be all set.
I am also working on my Things Ubuntu 10.04 Forgot Post. Look for it soon.
Enjoy

Wished that there would be a package available to download instead since the PC that has 10.04 on it I can’t carry around to a coffee house cause i dont yet have net at my home but i will.. *sighs*
I have Ubuntu 10.4 loaded with updates on system (Phenom II 4x 2.9G)
On the first line of the recipe for DVD viewing, all went well until it hung up on a screen which mentioned a Microsoft EULA for True-type fonts!
“Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer” plus the EULA wording ended by , no buttons
There doesn’t seem to be a way forward from here. What should I do? Thanks in advance for any help.
Try to hit the “y” key then enter, or “q” then enter… I have never had to approve anything before.
