See consequences of this problem here:

Specifically how the error message which could simply offer information on how a user could install the necessary codecs (but does not do so).: http://
This error message could simpoly state something like "Could not play DVD due to missing codecs. Click 'OK' to search for a solution in the Ubuntu Software Center"
See also how Michael Martin-Smucker comments this on omgubuntu.co.uk:
'Talk about missing an opportunity... This would be such a great chance to gently push people toward making a purchase in USC, but instead an ugly error message pops up and tries to explain to you why something (seemingly) simple like watching a DVD doesn't work, using words like "encrypted" and "decryption library".'
