  I was under the impression that VLC ignored region-encoding when
  playing DVDs, but this is apparently not the case on my BSD box.

 Definitely something is wrong with your VLC (probably an older version)
 since I can play US DVDs with VLC .

That's pretty much what I thought. I'm upgrading VLC now on the machine.

vlc won't play region encoded DVDs

2007-08-16 Thread Chandhee Thala
Hello,

I'm running VLC 0.8.5 on FreeBSD 6.2.

I was under the impression that VLC ignored region-encoding when
playing DVDs, but this is apparently not the case on my BSD box.

Most of the American DVDs I try to play gets a region encoding error
and quits. I have no problems with foreign DVDs (from other
countries).

Is this standard behavior for VLC on BSD or am I doing something wrong?

finding nat'd IP address?

2007-04-09 Thread Chandhee Thala

if i connect to the net with a cable modem or some other device that uses
NAT and gives me a private IP addresses, what is the most Elegant way to
get my real IP? (assume that the device itself will not let me have it).

I can go to some site that gives the visitor their ip address and screen
scrape, but I'd like to know if there is a cleaner solution before I start
scripting.

thanks
c
