I have a set of decrypted Bluray ISO files that were ripped with AnyDVD HD. It used to be that I could open and play most of these just fine using VLC, but unfortunately something changed on my system and I didn't realize it for a while, so I can't pinpoint what it was. Now, if I open any Bluray ISO with VLC it instantly crashes hard before displaying anything; process completely goes away. Interestingly, it can open a DVD ISO without crashing.
System specs:
VLC 3.0.17.4 64-bit
Windows 10 21H2
Intel Core i5-6600 (Skylake)
32GB RAM
nVidia RTX 3060
Things I have tried:
Uninstall/reinstall VLC and deleted prefs/cache
Manually delete %appdata%/VLC
Update to current nVidia drivers
Disable hardware acceleration in VLC
None of that has had any effect on the instant crash. I would love more troubleshooting suggestions.
