Only certain discs will play

Postby dracusai » 16 Aug 2022 22:04

I am trying to play a disc, so I clicked Media > Open Disc > Disc > Play, and there was an error.

Here is the message I got: https://pastebin.com/u7S6SdAZ

The logger also said:
-- logger module started --
main: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
main: playlist is empty
dvdnav error: vm: vm: failed to read VIDEO_TS.IFO
dvdread error: DVDISOVolumeInfo, failed to read ISO9660 Primary Volume Descriptor
dvdread error: DVDISOVolumeInfo, failed to read ISO9660 Primary Volume Descriptor
-- logger module stopped --

I'm not sure of what any of this means. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Download the libdvdcss file from here and place it in the vlc directory at C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\
https://download.videolan.org/pub/libdv ... .12/win64/

In vlc click Media ---> Open Disc. DVD should already be selected, but if it isn't select it and click Play. If you still get the error, repeat and in the disc menu checkmark "No disc menus" and then click Play.

I tried that, downloaded it and put it in the right spot. Unfortunately it was still giving me an error, and the message was this: https://pastebin.com/SqAkvJKw

Thanks for the help though, I'm really not sure why it still won't play the DVDs.

Is your DVD drive internal or external?

If it's external, see the last post in this thread: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=155598
