DVD

Postby A2Jturk » 20 Jul 2010 07:30

I really like VLC. When I put a DVD into the drive to watch a movie, VLC will not play. I get the error message, "File reading failed: VLC could not open the file "dvd:E:\".
Videos I have on my computer play fine. I only get this when I put a DVD bought from a store. I upgraded VLC but still get the same error.
