Need DVD codecs

When I try to play a DVD it says that I do not have the plugin required to play this type of file (in Totem). I installed libdvdcss. Am I missing a codec? If so does anyone know what it is?

Ok thats just plain hilarious. The Simpsons movie kicks ass. But back on the topic of playing dvd's mplayer seems to work fine, so I guess Ill leave it at that. Thanks for the help. It  so nice being back on Arch after being away for a while but Im a little rusty now.

Whoops.

I did read somewhere that Totem doesn't call libdvdcss directly, but does it through libdvdread. But, at this point if you all where ignoring me, I'd understand.
