Ubuntu 12.04 Can't Play DVDs with Libdvdcss installed

I've installed VLC, libdvdread4, libdvdcss, Medibuntu and Ubuntu restricted extras AND ran this line of code...

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

...on my Ubuntu 12.04 but whenever I start a DVD, whether it be with or without DVD menus the VLC player does not play. When I run it without a DVD menu, I'm returned with this...

Playback failure:

DVDRead could not read -1/4 blocks at 0x01.

If I attempt to change the region set using regionset to 1 then I am returned with this...

ERROR: Region code could not be set!

I've tried running the DVD on Gnome MPlayer to no avail. Help me fix this.
