Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///E:/'. Check the log for details.

This is the error that I'm getting.
I can't seem to find anything specific about this. Apparently many people can get this to work with Windows 10, but I can't even get started.
Would appreciate a clue, or hint, or anything that would help here.

Well I've made some progress. I did get a dvd to play. I'm not sure why my Twin Peaks dvds won't play, but I believe the app is working as designed, right?
Thanks for your help.
