I've run across several dvd's that do not work in VLC and Totem.
Error message from Totem is 'are you trying to run dvd without
libdvdcss?' Do I need to download this and if so would you suggest a
site? I found many versions on /linux.softpedia.com. Some are
debian, others redhat and the other labeled sources mirror one. What
should I do?

Here's the link:

Follow the instructions here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs

or, alternatively, these

Forget all that. In a terminal run this:

sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh

It will install the library you need.
