File reading failed:
VLC could not read the file (Input/output error).

  1. You probably just miss some libraries for reading DVD. Ensure you have libdvdcss2, libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4 installed:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras libdvdread4 libdvdnav4

    Then run:

    sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
