An educated guess: This would be an encrypted, deliberately-faulted (some discs have deliberate errors that confuse the hell out of computers, but standalone DVD players will simply bypass), or some other kind of copyguarded DVD, some of which are a major pain to do anything with on a Windows OS PC. Even my old dreaded Windows installation would refuse to even load some DVDs to look at the files in the file browser, never mind trying to play them. Your VLC installation *may* have support for handling such DVDs in a different manner. Of course, it could just be a bad disc (you don't mention whether it's just one problem disc), or it may need cleaning, or your drive may need cleaning. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
