VLC and DVD on OSX - Cannot set the DVD's title

Postby victorhooi » 06 Nov 2014 20:57

I'm running OSX 10.9.5 with VLC 2.1.5 (Rincewind).

I have an Apple SuperDrive.

I inserted a DVD, and set the region on the drive to 2 (which according to the packaging, is the region on the DVD disc)

I tried to play the DVD in VLC, by going to File, Open Disc.

However, I get the following messages in my Errors and Warnings window:

Code: Select all

Playback Failure VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc. Your input can't be opened. VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvdnav:///dev/rdisk2'. Check the log for details.
In my Messages window, I see:

Code: Select all

Any thoughts on what's going on?

It does not even find the dvdnav access module in your case. I would suggest to try a 2.2 nightly build (which is already release candidate 1 for our new version).
