Every time I try and play a Dvd on vlc which is installed on ubuntu 9.10 the program plays about a second of it then shuts down.
How can I stop this happening?
Any help is much appreciated.

start vlc from terminal as such and look for the cause
Most likely reasons
libdvdcss2 is not installed
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
audio and or video output issue - try a different output (tools ->preferences - in the output drop down

Make sure you have VLC 1.0.4. Ubuntu VLC 1.0.2 is awfully buggy.
