you need libdvdcss2 also ... as per my post
Unlike the 'buntu side.. debian is a bit harder to get dvd's to play on especially encrypted ones...
although both require libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2 to be installed as extras.. deb has a different method.

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /
wget -O - http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc|sudo apt-key add -
you "have" enabled dvd playback by installing the extra files needed yes ?
I think the Devs and others could help you better if you give a few more details.
does VLC give any error messages.. they have a log somewhere itcould give ideas on whether a certain codec pack etc need installing
does it show anything when you try like fuzzy pics or just stay black.
have you tried running VLC from a terminal as that may give you some errors
The more Info you can give the quicker and easier it will be to correct your issue.
