EEh, i prefer vlc 1.0.0 here because the newer ones don't have AAC encoder.Well, let's do it the other way, can you try latest VLC NB with unencrypted .aob?
I'll try binary of latest vlc (with no installer) so that the installed vlc 1.0.0 here will be unchanged.
Ok here we go:
System: Windows Vista Home premium 64bit.
Player: VLC 1.0.1 Goldeneye (downloaded as 7zip binary, and so use it without being installed)
DVD-A disc; Foofighters-One By One (best kickass DVD-A ever, play at volume 10, grin.) I don't know if it's unencrypted AOB, how can i recognize this?
Ok I started VLC 1.0.1 Win32 (no win64 vlc unfortunately) by clicking on vlc.exe
then when vlc runs i clicked: media->open file -> media files: all files , and navigate to DVD-A AUDIO_TS directory and selected the first ATS_01_1.AOB file (1,048,544 KB). And it plays, but 2 weird things: no sound & playing time is just 1minute 41 seconds. And that is not correct.
The DVD-A did give correct sound when i open it as DVD, but then it's like a DVD-V player, and so not as DVD-A player tracks.(this Foofighters DVD-A disc is DVD-V compatible)
Oh the installed version VLC 1.0.0 win32 does exactly the same as the 7zip VLC1.0.1 win32 i used for this test.
Also VLC1.0.2 git win32 does the same, totalplaytime isn't correct, and no sound. It does show as codecinfo lpcm.
