Instruction on how to play DVD's and win32 media files dapper drake.

Note: These instructions would only work on ver. 6.06lts or dapper drake. Never try to use this on other versions such as edgy or feisty as it may break your system. Good luck.

Heres how...

First, go to the terminal and type:quot; sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecsquot; and press enter.

Second, to add win32codecs repositories, type: quot;echo quot;deb  from : localhost/packages.medibuntu.org/ dapper free non-freequot; | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget -q  from : localhost/packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - amp;amp; sudo apt-get updatequot; and press enter.

Third, type: quot;sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2quot;.

Last, go to quot;Add/Removequot; and check the quot;show unsupported applicationsquot; and install quot;Xine movie playerquot; and ones installed, make sure to make Xine your default movie player because totem movie player doesn't fully support  all types of movie files even with the right codecs installed...

Enjoy!

Don't worry. You just need to enable two repositories.

Open quot;Synaptic Package Managerquot; located on (System-Administration-Synaptic Package Manager).

Now, Click the quot;Settingsquot; located top left of your screen and select quot;Repositoriesquot;.

Click the quot;Addquot; button on the right screen and just check the quot;Community Maintained (Universe) and Non-Free (Multiverse)quot;.

Once your done, close the Package Manager and open the terminal and just type: sudo apt-get update.

Then type: quot;sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdllquot;.
