I just get an access violation but I am not sure what causes that how much disk space does vlc need on the primary drive? Also The Curse Of The Were Rabbit (Ardman) will play the second disk but i cannot play the film on the first disk Is there something else i should do? and can you add to the erro...

thank you for your help and very comprehensive answer. I have just bought Ardman Curse of the Were Rabbit and hope that this will not have the same problem. Since with DVD players (standard) the firmware in them is fixed, how can you play in them successfully these disks? And why cannot a computer e...

I expected that. How does a DVD player read the disk then,and how can VLC emulate such a player? Or does the OS conspire against you?

Yes i am, a dell d420 running windows XP. On another machine i tried simpply copying the disk xcopy but it hung on one ot the VOB files.

Lawrence

I hope you will add that functionality to VLC. I have bought a legit copy and i cannot play it

I feel annoyed with Disney....

Lawrence

i hope that you will be able to tell me what the protection is <start gripe> its my cd and i should be able to play it anywhere - why is it protected <end grip>. I hope that you will be able to play it for me - do not have a dvd player other than my pc

Hi there, I bought Ratatouille locally in the uk BUA0047101 barcode 8717418150426. VLC 0.8.6B will open it and get the menu. If I click on the menu, for the english version, it gives me the warning about piracy and then does not go on to play the film. There is no disk activity, it has not misread t...
