The VideoLAN Forums

Hello,
I use vlc 2.0.1 et I have a little problem. WHen I want to watch a DVD, the DVD is not read directly by VLC. It takes around 2 minutes to start the DVD (access to the menu). It was the same with VLC 1.1.9. I have also this problem with Media Player Classic Home and the satsuki decoder pack. However, the DVD is read directly (few seconds) with Windows Media Center.
I tried with different DVDs ; one commercial DVD, and one where TV movie was burned.
Have you any idea about what is wrong?

Most likely an issue in libdvdnav or in libdecss.

Ok, is there any things that I can do to help you to fix this issue?

I don't know any easy way helping with DVD issues since replication is usually disc+drive dependent. Hard way is to debug the issue and send patch.

Just for information, I have no problem with that DVD if I use another free software, kaffeine. But the problem comes probably from menu of the DVD because VLC skips the first "menu" contrary to classic DVD player or kaffeine.
