VLC can't play DVD ISO file, but Windows Media Player can.

VLC can't play DVD ISO file even though it is copied correctly. But Windows Media Player plays it with no problem. How come?

"main error: buffer deadlock prevented" seems to be the reason according to the log. Any way to fix this?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

start without menus

That's right. I am supposed to choose which language I want to use before it enters the main menu. Which VLC won't give at all.

Update: Forgot to say that I figured it out. Had to choose "no disc menus". Didn't know that was required.
