As a result I've had to resort in some cases to running varous Windows versions of DVD rippers to get the movies into video files and off the DVD. Your going to have to experiment since this is also dependent on the DVD drive itself. Once you get the DVD ripped to a video file it's generally no problem to play it.

vlc not decoding certain DVDs
Why is vlc (the CSS library specifically) unable to decode certain CDs? Certain foreign film CDs work fine, but others, mostly US-based Hollywood films don't. I was under the impression that vlc was able to decode everything? I can hear audio on these DVDs, but the video is weird blocks of color. The weird thing is that if I run vlc under WINE, everything works fine. The movie plays, but fullscreen doesn't work and the interface is really horrible on vlc/wine. Any solutions on how to fix this? I am running 7.0-RELEASE on an x86 box. All ports are up to date as of 3 days ago. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
