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.

Well... it doesn´t do anything!

I press play and that's it... it doesn't play! :/

you "have" enabled dvd playback by installing the extra files needed yes ?

Which "extra" files do you need to install to playback DVD's on VLC player? :/

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.

If you're still looking for a fix, this just worked for me.
Do just as you posted in post 7 then sudo apt-get update. Then go to synaptic and search for libdvdcss2 and install. You should be good to go, Rob.

About libdvdcss2, please be careful about a problem occurring for use by a law by a country.

For example, distribution is forbidden in Japan.
