Hey, look at that, someone who told THE SECRET, to making DVD movies play. That should be down in a miniature and a half, to make sure not too many learn the secret. (That's a joke-see! You will!)
The DVD movie secret.
Why should Windows have all the fun?
Here's a clue for you: It's not VLC movie player- which you should have anyway! It's the command line instructions, for a terminal Window, that you need to follow from this website.
If you are not connected to the Internet, you're screwed!
If you are, it's a cake walk; just copy and paste, until everything works. There was only one prompt that I recall in the scripts- everything was automated, and hands free, and a no brainer.
Simple, and unlike Windows, you don't need to reboot.
Toss a DVD in there, and get a play menu, rather than an out of date version error! I watched Bob Hope and Bing Crosby "Road to Utopia", flawlessly. Yeah, I'm a chump, I like Road Shows! I'm sure I could have downloaded it from Archive.org, but in this case, it ran a commercially made DVD, in Linux. YAY!

Disappointments
When you wonder off the trail, into looser land (Linux), you have to expect disappointments. The computer market is totally owned by Microsoft, and Apple, and fuck anything else, no matter how good and inexpensive it might be! Why, because I might have to use my brain for 2 and half seconds, and being as stupid as they come, that could lead to testicular cancer or something, so I'll play it safe, and smart, and go with the sameo, sameo, bullshit, that I almost kinda have a second cousin that can nearly fix, for just a beer and a slice of pizza. Besides, Linux is for nerds, and we all know what those smell like!
The pack of lies continues, and that's the disappointment. And GOD DAMN RIGHT, I'm taking it personal now- fuck you idiots for being idiots! Popularity does not make you right, only suckers! That's not right, I just want to play games. And just how many games are there for PC's that actually work anymore, other than solo card games, that are in Linux as well?
Today, Linux is for embedded systems, not for workstations. It's what your Telecom uses to control your Internet experience, or your webcam uses, or your smart phone uses- surely it's not for end users.
I'm not alone here with my misplaced belief, even IBM has been fooled a few times into thinking Linux is the alternative to Windows, because it's there, and it's working, fully developed, ready for some SERIOUS Apps like DB2 and a Smart-suite bundle. And time after time, IBM is told; "Thank you, it's a great money saving idea! But because of the training and implementation issue, we decided to stay with Windows." Which doesn't make any sense, really. It's an excuse about fear of having to think, when we're a country of morons.
I FIRED MICROSOFT FROM MY OFFICE IN 2001! And in the last 9 years, I've spent less than $400 total on PC's and SOFTWARE! That's $44 a year (both hardware and software), how have you done? And I'm not using the OLDEST ANYTHING, rather the NEWEST EVERYTHING (other than hardware)! Even then, my system is pretty green, only sucking down 90 watts of power. I'll bet your workstation is over 400 watts- unless it's a $1200 laptop.
What this really about? I'm trying to get my house in order. I feel like a failure, even though, I've saved tons of money. But that savings has not expanded into profits. And I'm done blaming myself for that, because I would have been just a bad off or worse, holding coarse, and not firing Microsoft. I need to get back to wrapping my head around PROJECT WORK- that's exactly where I went wrong, deciding it was easier to be a moron.
I had to use my blog, just to look back in time; I see here in the crystal penguin, that I've been using Ubuntu for just over a year. I see that there are several new versions available in the last year (at least 2). And my spirit for adventure would love an upgrade, and so would this blog to spur the writing spirit! HOWEVER, I'm just not in the mood to do a backup, and it's been that story for the last 6 months. Once your not reading my anyhow, what's the point in test driving Linuxs, anymore? I really haven't noticed a difference in operation, in at least 3 versions- so we're not missing much. I hope?
