VLC can play audio CDs and DVD-VIDEO movies.
After installing VLC ''MEDIA PLAYER'' four times in the last months and from different sources I always obtain the same error message that VLC CANT OPEN THE MEDIA RESOURCE LOCATOR (commonly known as MRL) which is the heart of any Media Player.So IT IS BEYOND THE CAPABILITIES OF VLC to play any disk that is inserted in the computer player.
I imagine that there are tons of programming missing in the versions you gave for the different sites to download for free in the web and that those versions must be fake versions of the program and that only an ''elite'' class of users does effectively have the complete program (might be the family of the developers).
After these considerations I repeat that I find that VLC IS INCAPABLE OF PLAYING ANY MEDIA SUCH AS DISKS and it is far away of being an authentic Media Player (it only earns the qualification of ''FILE READER'').
Perhaps I would need you to send me the tutorial on HOW TO PLAY CD's AND DVD's SKIPPING THE USE OF THE MRL (Stupid user level).Thanks a lot.I'm waiting for it eagerly(for the time being I will try not to miss VLC and make friends with the Windows Media Player,Nero Show and KMD).
Thanks a lot and I send you my best regards.
