I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 and tried to enable playing of encrypted DVD's, I made sure libdvdread4is installed and got myself regionset via apt. When I try running it however it tells me

regionset version 0.1 -- reads/sets region code on DVD drives ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"! Please ensure there is a readable CD or DVD in the drive.

I tried this as root, as non-root, with an actual encrypted DVD and also with a "normal" cd with some pictures on it. They both get automatically mounted.

You might need libdvdcss - and you can get that easily. Just follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs

Or, add the Medibuntu repos and install it from there:

sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring libdvdcss && sudo apt-get --quiet update
