How to enable DVD and other proprietary format playback in Ubuntu

That is an option of course, but this also allows you to use programs like acidrip and other DVD Rippers. If you don't plan on doing that, you can totally use VLC. Actually, I'm going to add that to the description.

Just one question... why not just install VLC? I know it's not gtk but it plays everything except for rm.

@newusername01 i use vlc and for some reason it keeps not playing my DVD's as it keeps getting an error, i tried reinstalling it but nuthin, it's why im lookin for another dvd player on youtube, VLC is excellent for Windows but not for me on ubuntu, hopefully i can find a DVD player :)
