<title>How do I enable restricted codecs to play DVDs?</title>
<p>DVD support cannot be provided by default in Ubuntu due to legal and technical restrictions. Most commercial DVDs are encrypted and so require the use of decryption software in order to play them. </p>
<section id="fluendo">
<title>Use Fluendo to legally play DVDs</title>
<p>You can buy a commercial DVD decoder that can handle copy protection from <link href="apt:fluendo-dvd">Fluendo</link>. It works with Linux and should be legal to use in all countries.</p>

<section id="restricted">
