  <title>Installing the right codecs for DVD playback</title>
  <p>In order to play DVDs, you need to have the right <em>codecs</em> installed. A codec is some software that allows applications to read a video or audio format. If you try to play a DVD and don't have the right codecs installed, the Movie Player should tell you about this and offer to install it for you. If it does not, you will have to install it manually - ask for help on how to do this using your Linux distribution's support forums or otherwise. The software packages you probably need are <app>gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly</app> and <app>libdvd0</app>.</p>
  <p>DVDs are also "copy-protected" using a system called CSS. This prevents you from copying DVDs, but it also prevents you from playing them unless you have some extra software to handle the copy protection.</p>
- <p>You can install a program called <app>deCSS</app> to handle the copy protection. You will need to find specific installation instructions for your Linux distribution. Unfortunately, this cannot be used in some countries because the way it gets around the copy protection is illegal there.</p>

  <p>You can buy a commercial DVD decoder that can handle copy protection from <link href="http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-dvd-player/";>Fluendo</link>. It works with Linux and should be legal to use in all countries.</p>
