The VideoLAN Forums

VLC is not the issue here, the problem for you is the firmware on your DVD drive. I do not know what model of DVD drive is in your laptop or wether RPC1 firmware is available for it, but this isn't really the right forum for problems relating to DVD drive firmware.

To be able to watch all disks of any region you need an RPC1 drive and software that does not enforce region coding. In VLC you have the software part of the puzzle.

Hello. I'm just wondering wether a separate forum should be created for bug reports. At the moment bug reports have to fight it out with general questions about VLC on the same forums and appear to get overlooked and lost in the noise.
