Playing Encrypted DVDs in Xubuntu/Ubuntu

Hello all Xubuntu Users....

  So, as I posted previously, I came back to using Xubuntu from Windows 7. Well, there is always some little thing in linux that you forget how to install or simply have to install. One of those little things for me today was playing encrypted DVDs on our favorite OS.
  At first, I followed the usual procedure of installing the restricted extras. However, this was not enough to play my DVDs in, say for instance, VLC. So, I searched this issue through Google, and I finally found the answer. Therefore, if you are having the same issue, and you have already installed the restricted extras for Xubuntu, then open a terminal and input the following command:   
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
 
   For more information about the above command, go to the following website:

I hope this post helps all of those who are taking the courageous step of using Xubuntu.
