Re: [orca-list] playing videos in ubuntu



Am I correct in thinking that there is some kind of strange regulations or law where you can install restricted formats yourself but if you are in countries like the US, you can't have Linux installed with the Codecs so Distros don't install them by default so you have to cinstall the codecs yourself?

I assume it's because some people want to actually follow the law as opposed to knowing they just won't get caught breaking it.

why do you have to check laws in your area? do computers have detectors
so when you use illegal software your computer phones the police and
they show up at your door to arrest you for using illegal stuff? no. you
can use libdvd without worries i think.

This may be of help with libdvdcss. Please make sure to check the
laws in your area though:

The main problem I am having with Ubuntu seems to be using video
codecs to play classic DVDs.
For watching dvds, you should only need vlc, and libdvdcss. I am not
going to outline how to to get libdvdcss because many juristictions
have laws against such encryption breaking technologies, dvd playback
should not require ubuntu-restricted-extras, at least not if you are
using vlc.
