It is ironic but I've downloaded the VLC MEDIA ''PLAYER'' three years ago and up to date I couldn ''play'' any DVD or CD using the player.For me to imagine playing them through VLC is science fiction. The program I have downloaded at all times (updates) I feel that they were incomplete because even ...

Cant play my DVD'S and CD'S using the VLC Media Player because the player takes no notice that a disk has been inserted in my computer.Then when I try to open the disk in order to play it I get a legend that VLC IS INCAPABLE OF OPENING THE MRL (MEDIA RESOURCE LOCATOR). This problem is happening to m...

I have the disgrace that I downloaded VLC for the fist time three years ago and in that time my VLC ''PLAYER'' didnt ''play'' a single DVD or CD in my computer.I think I have a major bug here. I cannot imagine how VLC plays DVD'S or CD'S...so I think it would be a nice feature in the player... PLEAS...

Today I updated my VLC Player from the 1.1.0. version to the latest 1.1.4. one and to my disgrace still the ''Player'' cant ''play'' my CD'S and DVD'S because when I command the player to open the disc a legend appears that ''VLC IS INCAPABLE OF OPENING THE MRL''. When I put the disk in my computer(...

I am very sorry but I must ask for help again. Three days ago I have installed VLC for the fifth time in the last months (this time I have installed the latest version 1.1.0-pre4) and with the last version the ''players'' program installed the story repeats all over again...I still get the ERROR MES...

If you mean VLC 1.0.5, it has auto opening bug on Win32, but it is fixed in VLC 1.1.0. I have installed yesterday the VLC version 1.1.0. pre4 and it was the same story all over again.Your supposedly last version continues being incapable of opening the MRL,so I give up ...VLC is a nice File Reader ...

VLC can play audio CDs and DVD-VIDEO movies. After installing VLC ''MEDIA PLAYER'' four times in the last months and from different sources I always obtain the same error message that VLC CANT OPEN THE MEDIA RESOURCE LOCATOR (commonly known as MRL) which is the heart of any Media Player.So IT IS BE...

HI, I DOWNLOADE VIDEOLAN UNDER THE IMPRESSION I WOULD BE ABLE TO INSERT A DVD AND WATCH IT ON MY COMPUTER. SO I INSERT A DVD MOVIE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS NOW I READ ABOUT SKINS AND STUFF AND DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT THESE THINGS ARE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A COMPLETE PACKAGE BUT I AM HAVING NO LUCK ALL I WOU...

Please try to reinstall your VLC or test VLC 1.1.0-pre4 Sorry but it is the same sh**t over and over again.VLC issues the same error message THAT VLC IS INCAPABLE OF OPENING THE MRL. I think that the program is incomplete and its not just a question of testing...there are tons of programming missin...

? The same question mark that is on my mind.VLC cant play DVD's and CD's because it cant open the Media Resource Locator.So CD and DVD playing its beyond its possibilities.So VLC is just a file reader(its far away from being a MEDIA PLAYER)...it reads marvelously flv files but no disks. Besides I r...

It says to mew that you are working very hard to try to play a Video on VLC.I think that you could play it more easily on the Windows Media Player or in Nero Show.Best regards

Please as a future feature for the VLC ''MEDIA PLAYER'' I would ask if you could enable it to play CD's and DVD's and be capable of opening the MRL. Besides,on the control page you could make the audio,video and reproduction listings usable turning its components into clickable links. All this it is...

The marvelous ''VLC MEDIA PLAYER'' cant play DVD's and CD's because an error message is issued continouously that ''VLC IS INCAPABLE OF OPENING THE MRL'' so it hasnt the faintest idea that a CD or DVD is in the computer player. Also when you open VLC's control all whats referred to audio,video and r...

I've been downloading many rar. files lately from sites served by Rapidshare,but when I want VLC to open them and play them it tells me that they cannot be opened and played... I thought that VLC could open and play every file in this planet...I feel somehow a bit dissapointed.... Is there any way o...
