Re: [ubuntu-uk] Corrupt VLC problem in 4.2014 Further Comment
Not wishing to upset anybody, Sir. Problem only happened with a Region 1 disk, Region 2 is good. If due to drive region-locking after several changes, does not explain the drive "chatter" MS W7 will play Region one so if I use Ubuntu for Region 2 and Microsoft for Region 1, no problem. Drive chatter, I don't know, that remains a mystery.

VLC will not have become corrupted. It is just possible that some of it's settings may have become messed up. To check that logon as Guest and try vlc again, that will give you a new set of settings for the app. If it works in guest then I suggest removing (back in your normal login) the folder .config/vlc which I believe contains your personal vlc settings. > I'm hoping a complete removal is possible in terminal, is anybody able to > tell me what to do, please ? If you really want to remove it then sudo apt purge vlc That will remove the app and all configuration files installed by vlc. To remove your personal settings for vlc remove the folder .config/vlc as mentioned above. However it sounds more like a hardware issue to me. Does the drive still work in a different player?

I tried deleting in terminal but did not. A DVD causes drive-chatter, sometimes a box of error messages, but no playback possible, just shows the disc title.
