The error you're getting is similar to the one I get when I attempt to
play a region-locked DVD (secondary text is "cannot open resource"). 
Even though my player is set for the correct region.  I don't have DeCSS
installed (since I don't like to break the law, even really bad laws
like the DMCA), so I guess most commercial DVD's just won't play on my
Ubuntu box.
