Hello, I need to test a new DVD but after loading Overclockix none of the DVD player included is able to play the DVD. The DVD is brand new and works perfectly on my TV.
What am I missing?

Do you have 2 DVD drives (Or, do you at least have 1 CD drive and 1 DVD drive)?

Go K menu to multimedia to video to Ogle. Small box should come up on the top left corner of screen, go to file, to open disc.
I don't think you can just pop it in and expect it to run like a windows machine.

Does Overclockix come with libdvdcss to start? There are legal reasons why most distros do not... namely that libdvdcss violates the DMCA in the US. Without it you cannot play encrypted DVD's (which is almost all of the commercial dvd's out there).

I used 'Lord of the Rings' to check it out and did'nt run it long but it worked, just would'nt start without telling it to.

Indeed it does, and indeed it is a legal issue. Shhh!
