I encountered this problem with a Apple Mac Mini running 7.04 Feisty. I had never inserted a DVD under OSX, then wiped the entire disk and installed Ubuntu. The region code was never set on the drive, and any attempt to play a dvd caused the application to silently bail out with no errors.
I believe the relevant error from VLC is: Error cracking CSS key for ..... If you try mounting the disk and issuing "cp -ra" you get errors like: cp: reading `/media/cdrom0/video_ts/video_ts.vob': Input/output error regionset is able to tell that there is no region set, thus I conclude there ought to be a hook that spots this and asks you to set it. -- Something needs to set the region code on new DVD drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
