You have asked several things at once there. Firstly DVDs You need something called libdvdcss2, try following the instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs (sorry if you have all ready done this). I would recommend gxine for playing DVDs, I think it has better support for DVD Menus. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications#gxine Though I would install it from the Ubuntu Repository not the gXine website. Other Movie formats (e.g. things you have downloaded from the web) Look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/ I can't provide much more detail without knowing the exact format you are having problems with. Windows Games are an entirely different kettle of fish, options generally include: Dual Booting with Windows. Installing Windows in a Virtual Machine (e.g. Qemu, VMWare, VirtualBox) (may have performance issues) Run the game under Wine (may not be fully compatible) Sorry for the lateness of this reply.
