One final thing.. I cant get dvd's to play, I have mpegs playing fine, the dvd is mounted ok, and the files are readable just nothing will play them, not totem, not mplayer. Windows is having no troubles. So its not a hardware issue.
Just about no distribution plays DVDs by default due to issues around licensing for DVD. This is easy to overcome by installing a package from a different place than default. I'm not sure what this is on Ubuntu. There are comments at http://wlug.org.nz/UbuntuNotes but they seem out of data so perhaps an Ubuntu user could update?
