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.

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.
