Hereward,
apt-get xine-dvd
should help you. However, this will only let you play unencrypted DVDs.
To play the encrypted ones you'll have to get, compile and install both
libcss and one of two good plug-ins for xine. At least that's what I did
few days ago after reading http://xine.cjb.net/ and a really great article on
http://www.linux.com/newsitem.phtml?sid=1&aid=11799
Cheers,
Alex.
