DVDs won't open

I have recently loaded Ubuntu 8.04, and wanted the capability to select 
sections of a DVD.  It looked like gxine was the answer, so I used the 
Synaptic Package Manager to download the application. Ubuntu instructs 
us to then set our Home Folder preferences for DVDs to gxine.  However, 
that choice is not available in the preferences menu.  In addition, when 
I try to play a DVD I get the following error message: The xine engine 
failed to start.

I am fresh from a Windows environment, and don't know where to go from 
here.  Would appreciate any ideas.
