Revision of Enable DVD Playback from Sat, 02/27/2010 - 06:35
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
By default, Trisquel is unable to decode and play most DVDs because it lacks a library to bypass the CSS (Content Scramble System) algorithm that protects commercially available DVDs. You will need a simple free software library called libdvdcss2, which bypasses the encryption and includes an API to access DVDs as a block device. Even better, libdvdcss2 ignores region codes.
Getting the Package
- Go to URL http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/ and download the latest version (currently 1.2.10 at this time) in .deb format.
- Open the .deb file and click on "Install Package". DVD playback should work immediately.
