# Problem with playing movies from a DVD

It may happen that after putting a DVD into your CD/DVD drive, Videos shows the error message An error occurred ‒ The movie could not be read. This may be because your a required GStreamer plugin to read the format of the movie is not installed on your system, or because DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption package is not installed on your system.

To open encrypted DVDs, consider installing the libdvdcss package. However, note that using this package is not legal in all countries. For further information if or where the package might be available for your distribution, please ask in a support forum of your distribution.
