that still doesn't work.

But I found this player called "media player classic" that seems to works with these dvds. guess I'm gonna go with that for now...

thanks anyways

no they don't work on the x86 version either. same thing happens. the dvd drive just keeps searching....and after a while I get that error message

I'm using VLC X64 and some of my DVDs won't work. I tried opening up the disc directly or thru the VIDEO_TS folder. I get the following error:

File reading failed:
VLC could not read the file (Bad file descriptor).

this only happens with dvds I purchased recently

I just switched to vlc v2.0.5 and now whenever I open up a bluray this window "direct3d ouput" just pops ups. it doesn't happen if I play a movie file like a .avi

megaman951: you get crash if you open xspf playlist via command-line?

Code: Select all

vlc.exe c:\something\mylist.xspf

yeah it still crashes if I load the playlist from command line

I have the exact same problems. Clicking on a .xspf crashes vlc and if I load a xspf from playlist --> load playlist file, the video filenames don't show, only the duration. I'm using winxp pro SP3

I'm watching a mkv with dual video and seems vlc displays the second video in a popup window "yuv hardware overlay directX input". Is there a way to disable this ?

what Exactly did you do to disable the popup window ?
