VLC player won't play Video_TS on Win7

Postby filmfreak » 10 Apr 2011 19:47

Hi there,

I've got an Asus net book (1.67Ghz, 32-bit)... so no disc drive. I have an original DVD (television series) and I've copied the Video_TS folder onto an external hard drive. If I want to open it on my net book, all it shows is the DVD menu, and I can't click on anything. It happens no matter which file I open... .ifo, .vob.

What to do?
Thanks!

Does it work any better if you use Media -> Open Disc... ?

Nope, nothing... only DVD menu with nothing to click on. There is a title popping up for 1/-2 seconds saying: dvd://G.

Any ideas?

Hello,
the DVD you copied was most likely copy-protected.
You can try to copy the files to your hdd bypassing the copy protection by using a special tool, in case this is legal in you country.
Or you can try to make a 1:1 image of your dvd as an .iso file.

If you want more detailed error log, then open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you try to start playback.
