Just encountered this probleme on 12.04 with a clean DVD drive ( direct
from the factory ) that has never been region-set.

Since this regionthing is directly linked to commercial crippled DVDs and 
drives region cannot be set more than 5 times. I guess this should be handled 
by the DVD player software only when the CSS key cracking fails. 
So as already said, this should be handled by the DVD player with a nice GUI 
where the user can select the zone after have understood that this could be 
done only X times

I'm then adding Totem as a project affectd by this bug

** Also affects: totem
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- udev rule needed for libdvdread to  trigger check/set of a region code (init 
brand new DVD drives)
+ The user should be presented a GUI to set the region code of his brand new 
DVD drive when trying to read a CSS crippled DVD (When needed)
