Here is what I have to go through to play a DVD in Ubuntu:

1. Open the DVD Case
2. Remove DVD
3. Push button on DVD Drive
4. If another DVD is present, remove it
5. Insert DVD I'd like to watch
6. Push button to close DVD Drive
7. Watch DVD as movie player automatically comes up and plays the DVD.

I know, it's complicated and tough...

I would have to agree with that, no problem here, but video files in
Vista is problematic. I have no problem with what is recorded using
Vista but have to use VLC player for a number of older recordings.
