Greetings!

I use W7 Pro SP1 and have a folder, named with Cyrillic characters, with VIDEO_TS inside. If I drag and drop this folder to VLC window I get the following error:

Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disc "D:\Тест\VIDEO_TS".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://D:\Тест\VIDEO_TS\'. Check the log for details.
Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disc "D:\Тест\VIDEO_TS".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://D:\Тест\VIDEO_TS\'. Check the log for details.

The Messages window with verbosity level 1 has the following:

dvdnav warning: cannot open DVD (D:\Тест)
main info: stopping playback

ts warning: TS module discarded (lost sync)
ps warning: this does not look like an MPEG PS stream, continuing anyway

I know that the problem was discussed quite a number of times but I couldn't resolve this issues after performing step from various thread of the forum.
Could you help me to find out solution please?

I think this is fixed in 1.2.0

Yes. Nightly Build of VLC

Yes it works now with version 1.2.0. Thank you!
I hope the fix will be kept in the next morning build

It will be kep in all 1.2.0 releases.

Sorry to bring up old theme (I used forum search), but in latest nightly 3.0.0 it seems to be broken again - "open file's folder" in playlist refuses to do it (with error message "c:\?????" in path name) but file still could be played. So it is because nightly build or new bug?

And in my experience only VLC can't handle non-latin mp3 tags, when Cyberlink or WMP or other player never had any issues with that. Boo hoo.

P.S. also "open file's folder" doesn't select (highlight) reference file in folder (any VLC version afair) - by design or minor flaw?
