Enable Commercial DVD Playback in Ubuntu

I hadn’t played a film/movie on my computer for some time – obviously since before upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10. So furrowed brows when my Dave Allen DVD (yes, you have to be a certain age to remember Dave Allen) just wouldn’t work.

It’s funny how you forget to do things once you get them working, and I’d forgotten this one. I tried several solutions I looked up on Google and Ubuntu Forums to no avail (they were probably out of date), but this one from the ever-reliable Tombuntu did the trick.

His suggestion re VLC is spot on, too.
