I have one video that VLC definitely plays!  So then how do I fix this
"region" thing?

Will vlc play other dvds?  If so, maybe its from another region, that
would definitely be a problem.  I think the U.S. is region 1.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:

VLC Still Refusing To Play DVD

2016-12-28 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello again List:   Hate to keep bothering you guys with this, but have
still not found a solution for my DVD problem!  VLC just won't play it; I've
been into preferences (or what I believe to be "preferences) but nothing
there even makes sense to me!  I don't claim to be the most computer-sabbie
person, so it is quite possible that I am just missing something!  I have
tried to play this DVD with Windows Media to no avail (it'll play a little
bit of it; then stop) I really do want to see this DVD since the group I
work in is in it (it's a show that the band was involved with) but so far,
just am having no luck!  Surely there is some smart person on this list that
can tell me what I need to do in order to make my machine access this DVD!
This particular medium (this list) is the only place where I know to go to
get  help, so if no one can help me here, then I'm SOL, I guess!
