I can play DVD in VLC. It works fine. VLC built using BLFS SVN. I do not know what encoded means. The DVD is a regular region 2 movie DVD for purchase. The KDE device notifier picks up the DVD and I select VLC from there. vlc --version VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be) VLC version 2.1.4 Rincewind (2.1.4-0-g2a072be) Compiled by magnus on localhost (May 3 2014 21:33:57) Compiler: gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC) This program comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

DVD plays, but I cannot point and click on the DVD menu (sections, sound, subtitles etc). Nothing happens.
