Just push the alt key, and then arrow left and right to see what menus you
encounter.
Then the down arrow will open one, and the escape key will close it again.
Stay well

Don, I can't even get that far.
Could I have a step by step guide from you or Jacob?
I loaded VLC and I can't even find those menus you and Jacob are
referring
to. Where are they?

Yes, selecting a title or chapter from the Navigation menu should allow
you
to start playing at a particular episode. The problem is that the DVD
standard is vague, supplies no information, and generally one of the worst
standards for the blind community! The author of the DVD has a lot of
room
to get creative with whether they want menus at the beginning, or end and
how to structure the titles and chapters. Perhaps on those misbehaving
DVDs
where you can not find the episodes by the title menu, try the chapter
menu.

I'm not sure about what others have been asking, but my question is
how can I get different episodes to play directly from the DVD. When
I enter on a title number it doesn't always go there. I know another
user who is having the same problem.

I generally get VLC to start playing something by right-clicking on
it, and choosing play with VLC media player, and this then has all
tracks/titles populated etc., and this works on folders copied from
DVDs as well as the drive itsself.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] VLC MEDIA PLAYER
In a recent article, I read a glowing report about the VLC Media
player and it sounded so good that I downloaded and installed the
program. It's an open code program which will run on any operating
system.
But i can't make it function.
Below, you will find my questions and if anyone can help, I'd
certainly appreciate it. I don't mind paying for a working DVD
player if it gives me the track information. That's what VLC was
supposed to do. It doesn't at least for me.
I'm running an HP Pavillian 6510 with 4 gigs of RAM and a 750 gig
hard drive.
I'm running Windows 7 Professional and Jaws 11, the latest build.
1. If you load VLC, do you have to make some special adjustments to
get it to read and allow the user to interact with tracking
information?
2. If yes, where do I find those settings and please provide
detailed instructions.
3. I was told that it doesn't read the actual text but just says
"Track 1, Track 2" and so on. I can't even get it to do that. I
don't understand it.
