Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because it does not have the
appropriate
plugins to be able to read from the disc.

Please install the necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to
play this media.


I already went to Fluendo and got the fluendo-megabundle tarball. That
got me to see .wmv files which was nice.

I do seem to have libdvdread installed. But the truth is the message is
rather vague on what I exactly need.

What RPM's do I need to be able to watch DVD's via Totem ?

Thanks

Two things:
1. replace totem with totem-xine from livna
2. Even better install vlc to play DVDs.
