Just wanted to also add that I've tried deleting preferences and even done clean installs on never touched OS and still have issues with audio transcoding. It has worked on every version of VLC in the 2.0.x line without issue until v2.1.0. This is an example command I use at the command line start v...

On VLC v1.1.11 on 64bit Windows 7 I get this Playback failure: DVDRead could not open the disc "/D:\VIDEO_TS". Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvdsimple:///D:\VIDEO_TS'. Check the log for details. On VLC v2.0.1 on 64bit Windows 7 dvdsimple:///D:\VIDEO_TS and dvds...

I will try this in the next few days and report back. Did you have any luck replicating this?

So is this a VLC bug then? If so does it need submitted some where?

Here is log from 64bit using dvdsimple:///D: main debug: processing request item dvdsimple:///D: node Playlist skip 0 main debug: resyncing on dvdsimple:///D: main debug: dvdsimple:///D: is at 0 main debug: starting new item main debug: creating new input thread main debug: Creating an input for 'dv...

I tested on 2 more Windows 7 32bit PC's and both of them needed to play the movie. Again with v1.1.11 using only 2 slashes on Windows 7 32bit worked fine. I will set verbosity to 2 and report back messages.

I have 2 Windows 7 PC's, one is 64bit and one is 32bit. On the 64bit I can send the command vlc dvdsimple://D: and it will play the DVD in drive D: with no issues. On the 32bit I send the command vlc dvdsimple://D: and it errors. Playback failure: DVDRead could not open the disc "\\D:". Yo...

I use VLC via command line to play DVD's and it works great, my problem is that I think the DVD's by default are playing v5.1 sound and I'm only listening to it via my PC speakers so audio gets high and low. Wondering if there is a way to specify I only want the 2 channel audio track using a command...

Yes that worked --sub-title=0 instead of :sub-title=0


Thanks for your help!

I can't get VLC to play subtitles when giving either of these commands. vlc :sub-track=0 --fullscreen "C:\Users\Kevin\TestDVD.m3u" vlc "C:\Users\Kevin\TestDVD.m3u" :sub-track=0 --fullscreen The contents of my .m3u are: #EXTM3U dvdsimple://D:\ vlc://quit The results of both comman...

I noticed this command doesn't work anymore, is this a bug, or is there a new command now to play with bypassing menus? Sorry if this has been posted before, I searched, but couldn't find a definite answer whether this command is no longer supported or if the command has been replaced or if it just ...

Would something like "dvd://D:\@1:1" instead of "dvdsimple://D:\" be a way to play all movies despite copyright protection by bypassing the menus?

Not sure what copy protection would have to do with this. I mean I'm legally purchasing/renting the retail version of the movie and simply trying to play it back on my PC without menus. What exactly does VLC do when you use the dvdsimple command? Would telling the movies to always start at title 1, ...

I have changed that to "vlc://quit" and now it simply launches VLC, starts to try and play the movie and quits with no error log and no playback. If I open the disc from the GUI of VLC and check to play without menus it will not play and pop up with "Playback failure: DVDRead could no...

I am having problems with more recent movies, I launch VLC from the command line by using "dvdsimple://D:\" and 9 times out of 10 it plays the movie without menus perfectly. However lately with newer movies I get this error with Fools Gold and Speed Racer to name a couple: Playback failure...
