Libdvdread is not supposed to provide all codecs possible for DVDs. It specifically says that it does the following:
Description: library for reading DVDs libdvdread provides the functionality that is required to access many DVDs. It parses IFO files, reads NAV-blocks, and performs CSS authentication and descrambling. . libdvdread currently uses libdl to dynamically probe for libdvdcss at runtime. If found, libdvdcss will be used to decrypt sections of the DVD as necessary. Homepage: http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ I would like to point out that packages such as ubuntu-restricted-extras (& kubuntu & xubuntu varieties) do pick up the majority of these codecs in one hit. I suspect that's the package you wanted to install, rather than this one directly. Opened a task on xorg, for the Xserver bits. ** Also affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libdvdread (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- When I play a video, I get a green screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119433 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
