Revision of Enable DVD Playback from Wed, 01/19/2011 - 08:16

The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.

By default, Trisquel is unable to play many DVDs because it lacks a library to bypass the CSS (Content Scrambling System) algorithm that blocks access to encrypted DVDs. You need a simple free software library called libdvdcss2, which bypasses the encryption, includes an API to access DVDs as a block device, and ignores region codes.

Installation

libdvdcss2 can be installed via multiple methods.
  1. libdvdcss2 can be installed via the package manager.
  2. A copy can also be downloaded from their website.

Legal Information

The legal status of using libdvdcss2 can vary based on location. Users should read the libdvdcss legal concerns before installing.
