Hi There: I'm an Australian resident and I finally managed to solve my problems with Totem - and VLC - with patiene and diligence, by using Google to seek what I needed to know i.e downloading Ubuntu Restricted Extras and appropriate DVD codecs. But I'm a newbie, and it took a helluva lot of work. If these instructions were readily provided by Totem & VLC in their program, this wouldn't be necessary. Those with similar problems, download and install the Extras package and then go to Medibuntu : http://packages.medibuntu.org/ to download & install the extra codecs : libdvdcss2 and w32codecs. Easy enough. But it took me an unconscionably long time to get there ...
