[SOLVED] How do I play a DVD Movie

Postby jbarntt56 » Oct 3rd, '15, 06:40

I can play a music CD, but not a movie on DVD. I'm using VLC. I put the DVD in the player, the OS sees it and offers me a choice. I choose VLC, but VLC sees nothing. I also tried Dragon Player, same result. I tried several DVDs, same result. Disks are commercial, and are regionally correct for me, (I'm in the USA). These disks played fine in my old Win7 pc.

Any help, much appreciated.

With a little research I found the answer: Install lib64dvdcss2, for 64 bit systems. I think libdvdcss2 is the file for 32 bit systems.

My DVDs play in VLC now :D
