I have to say I'm astonished that in 9.10, the eleventh version of
Ubuntu, when a user tries to play a movie DVD, he's greeted with "Error
occured, unable to read from the resource", instead of at least being
given a pointer to the right help page. (The wrong help page would be
the "Totem movie player manual", which is the first result you get (in
Karmic) when you search with the word "dvd" in the Help). The right
result, "Music, videos and photos", comes up seventh). I appreciate the
difficulty to create a seamless user experience with media and codecs
(on which a lot of great work has been done already), but at least we
should lead the user forward to the next step. The further goal should
be for example to let the user click a couple of OKs, be warned of
possible legal aspects with understandable language and have the
necessary codecs and other packages installed automatically.
