The VideoLAN Forums

It seems it may depend on which DVD and which DVD drive is available. On my w2K and other machines I have, some DVDs, some movies, the DVD drive will read and will play (using VLC). However, some disks that can be read by the drive won't play in VLC, but can be played using other media players. And ...

well, my I drive could be at fault, I guess. However, I put one of the DVDs on another box (Linux this time; VLAN version 1.1.9) and tho the VIDEO_TS folder does show up, VLC won't play the DVD there either. I guess for now call it a day for this particular w2K box However, since I deleted all the o...

sorry, didn't notice the last DVD was being read well (even) by the OS, my bad. I put in another DVD (a newer disk) also, i am having trouble posting the following message so I will try posting it in parts part 1: qt4 warning: Input option: dvdnav-caching=300 main debug: adding item `dvd://I' ( dvd:...

hmm, the forum is saying I am trying to post too many urls when I submit my reply (there are no urls in the reply) The gist of the message (I am trying to post now) is that the previous disk was not being recognized by the i drive (that was my bad), so i have now tried another disk. Same result (won...

After setting the verbosity level under tools to 2 and trying to play the disc using "Media, Advanced File Open/Disc", the message (the same message as before) appears in the player window: "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://I:\'. Check the log for detai...

oh yes I have been using VLC for years now -- just have never been able to play DVDs without an external player, and never upgraded VLAN. I was somewhere trying to play a DVD and didn't have the player and wondered why the DVD wouldn't play (haven't played DVDs in a while!). Anyway, I downloaded a f...

Just a plea -- I know support for an OS takes time and I don't really expect a miracle, but since XP to W7 is actually out of the question for many of us using win2K (still), Is there any way to get someone to include DVD playing capabilities in 1.1.10 (last known supported VLC media player for win2...

To Whom, I replaced FC5 with FC7 (much needed for other reasons), but believe the problem was probably hooked up with the old link to the livna repositories which I couldn't seem to change (?) With the correct livna address, the yum install of the videolan-client went well. I haven't seen a video ye...

sorry was so lacking in details -- no excuse but being tired -- the box froze during data collection for the message, I appreciate your taking time to answer despite all Here is a rundown of latest activities with vlc: I installed vlc on this particular machine 2 years ago, and I thought it worked (...

This may sound stupid, but I am relatively naive about all this: I have followed directions regarding installed vlc in FC5, but at this time I cannot find the vlc application anywhere. I have a laptop with no CD,DVD-ROM, so have added a DVD-RW via a usb port. I mounted the /dev/scd0 under /media/som...
