>From my experiences, to solve your problem about how to get libdvdcss2, 
If you have internet connection, then try this simple methods :
1. 	Install one of the aforementioned video-player packages along 
	with  the libdvdread3 package, if they aren't installed, so use 
   	$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread3

	After you install libdvdread3, you must run the script it 
	provides to download and install the libdvdcss2 libraries you 
	need. Open a terminal and run the following script:    		
	$ sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
	
	Done. Now to play a DVD, just insert it into your 
	computer's DVD player. Ubuntu is configured by default to 
	automatically open DVD video with the Totem media player. 

	If you want to toggle that setting, click 
	SystemPreferencesRemovable Drives and Media, click the 		
	Multimedia tab in the window that appears, and check or uncheck 
	the checkbox next to "Play video DVD disks when inserted" 				
	From this window, you can also change the default 
	program used to open DVDs. Just change the default video player 
	from totem to your program of choice.

2. 	Use another aplication like VLC for example, i am using VLC for 
	watching DVD (*Optional)
	1.$ sudo apt-get install vlc
	2. finished

That's All
