Are you trying to rip a dvd but you're don't open a dvd? Probably you need a lib that decrypt the dvd. See this instructions:

Installing libdvdread on Ubuntu

Install the libdvdread4 package (no need to add third party repositories) via Synaptic or command line: (note: if you have installed *ubuntu-restricted-extras this has already been installed automatically for you)

open a terminal (alt+ctrl+t)

so, in the terminal, type:

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

after installing,type: 

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

Installing libdvdcss on Ubuntu

With the demise of the Medibuntu repository and libdvdcss not being hosted in the main Ubuntu repos due to licensing issues a new repository is needed from 13.10 upwards. Thanks to the good folks at VideoLAN (makers of the awsome VLC Video Player) there is a ready and updated source available.

open a terminal (alt+ctrl+t)
then, type:

wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debian/videolan-apt.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libdvdcss.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
