When I go into DVD Modula I go into the dropdown list and see no DVD the Closest I see is VCD so I set it to the word Default??

[VLC_help]

Click the triangle in front of Access modules, it will reveal more submenus.

Does the DVD play correctly if you open it via DVDsimple (No DVD menus) option?

[biferi]

do i have setup simple DVD in the list or can i open it in the main player?

[VLC_help]

Just tick No DVD menus when you use Media -> Open disc...

[biferi]

OK I whent to Media Open Disc and put check in No DVD Menus.

And it seams to play without skipping.
why I meen even if I start in the menu I will still go to the Movie??

[biferi]

The reply to my post never got to me.
If I play a DVD and sellect No DVD Menus it plays without skipping.

But if I go through the menue and go to play the movie the whole movie will skip?

Why?

[VLC_help]

Bug in dvdnav.

[biferi]

What is DVD NAV?

You don't mean my DVDs do you you mean the Feature that lets VLC navageat the DVD Menus right?

[VLC_help]

It is library that VLC uses.

Hello,
sorry for reviving of so old a thread.
I have almost exactly an opposite problem - when I open the DVD (it appears with one particular disc) with menus, I cannot select any menu option. The 21 secs long "menu chapter" plays (with few buffering pauses) to its end, then the playback of the movie itself automatically starts.
I have tested this DVD in Windows Media Player 11 as well - there the playback fails entirely and an error message appears, saying something about failed communication between my DVD drive, DVD decoder and GPU, and advising me to update my GPU drivers.
Edit: I use VLC media player 1.1.7 on Windows XP SP3.
