Command Line: Play DVD-Folder from HD, starting chapter 3

Postby BRotondi » 03 Aug 2014 12:32

Hello

There exists

Code: Select all

% vlc dvd://[device][@raw_device][@[title][:[chapter][:angle]]]
But I'm not able to start e.g. chapter 3 from "D:\Folders\Test-DVD"

What is the correct syntax?

Thanks!
Bruno

Try this:
"path to your\vlc.exe" "dvd:///D:/Folders/Test-DVD#1:3"

Thanks! Now it works.

Don't know why they need three / but now I was able to solve also the 1:3-Problem: Use the VLC-GUI to see which Title and Chapter you need (e.g. Title 4, Chapter 3 = 4:3), since the main movie is not always Title 1.
