Incidentally, though vlc seems hopelessly broken--sound, but no picture--Dragon
Player gives me picture without difficulty, especially on the new mkv files. So
I've verified that MakeMKV works, even when ripping a Region 2 disk on a Region 1
player. (The "workaround" is successful; it just seems to take forever, but as long
as I read the message "Operation successfully completed," I can be confident.) The
only other modification I need to try to make, is to crop the picture to the PAL
aspect ratio to eliminate "double letterboxing" on a wide screen.
I realize that vlc is an rpmfusion package, hence no concern of Fedora. Well, kudos
to Fedora for producing a video player (Dragon Player) that beats vlc in their
current iterations! I only wish I knew exactly why.
I freely admit I know very little about codecs and video playback. In the past
everything has just worked for me. As I said, all of my DVD drives have died....
But since I've been doing upgrades since they were working I should have what I need
for things to work. With that in mind, it may be a good idea to see what gstreamer
plugins you've installed? Here is what is on my system.
[egreshko@meimei backups]$ rpm -qa | grep gstream | grep plug | grep good
gstreamer1-plugins-good-1.12.2-1.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.31-18.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-good-extras-0.10.31-18.fc26.x86_64
[egreshko@meimei backups]$ rpm -qa | grep gstream | grep plug | grep bad
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.23-39.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-39.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.23-8.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-1.12.2-1.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld-1.12.2-1.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.23-39.fc26.i686
gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-gtk-1.12.2-1.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree-0.10.23-4.fc26.x86_64
[egreshko@meimei backups]$ rpm -qa | grep gstream | grep plug | grep ugly
gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-1.12.2-1.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.19-22.fc26.x86_64
gstreamer1-plugins-ugly-free-1.12.2-1.fc26.x86_64
Thank you for that list. I was in fact missing some gstreamer plugins
packages. I just tracked down and installed the missing ones, and now
vlc works again--picture and sound.
