Hi all,
I'm still new to Linux, so hopefully this doesn't come off as a dumb question, but I'm sure to experienced users it will, hehe. Anyways, I burned some AVI, MPEG videos onto a DVD with my PC (running win xp pro), I used Nero to burn the movies. On my laptop I have Ubuntu 5.10, I put in my DVD in my DVD rom drive on my laptop, but the movies won't play, it just comes up with some kind of error box (can't remember what it said), could the cause of the disc not playing the videos be from burning the videos from a win xp OS, using software that is meant for a microsoft OS or is it because i have to download one of the prorgrams for DVD playback from the Ubuntu repositories?
