Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com//RestrictedFormats
Basically you need to add
"deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe 
multiverse restricted"
to your sources.list (or another backports mirror) and libdvdcss is just 
another selection in synaptic

A direct link for libdvdcss is
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/ubuntu-backports/dists/hoary-extras/restricted/binary-i386/libdvdcss2_1.2.8-1~5.04ubp1_i386.deb
