I couldn't play commercial DVD's in antiX14 until I installed libdvdcss2 (paste"sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" into Terminal) and now I can play them using Totem Movie Player. (Couldn't get VLC or Gnome MPlayer to play them, tho. Go figure.) So, problem solved.

there is also the mx-restricted-codecs app which will install it for you.

interesting about vlc...I've not had any issues.

it pulls more than just libdvdcss2. there are some proprietary ms codecs among other things.
