Video does not play

I have Fedora 27 and VLC 3.0.0-rc5 Vetinari. With a DVD movie inserted in the internal laptop CD/DVD drive, the sound plays but there is no video. Other movie files like *.avi and *.mp4 play fine. Fedora is the Host OS.

I run Windows 7 as a guest OS in VirtualBox on the same laptop. VLC 2.2.8 Weatherwax runs in Windows 7 and DVDs play fine. Media Player Classic 1.7.13x64 also plays DVDs fine in the Windows 7 virtual machine.

I suspect the Fedora rpm has left something out. Of course, Fedora just says they don't support VLC and won't provide any help.
I have no idea how long this has been an issue because I just recently bought DVDs after many years.
Has anyone else had the same problem and can tell me how to remedy it? Thank you.

If you have an Nvidia graphic card you have to use the proprietary driver
