I can play DVD in VLC. It works fine.
VLC built using BLFS SVN. I do not know what encoded means. The DVD is a
regular region 2 movie DVD for purchase. The KDE device notifier picks up the
DVD and I select VLC from there.
By 'encoded' I mean it needs libdvdcss to play it.
I think I have one DVD somewhere which might not need libdvdcss,
but I am not entirely sure - and I have no particular desire to
search for it to see if it plays (it was not very interesting).
vlc --version

I'm also on Rincewind. The build I last tested was using gcc-4.9.0,
but for me this problem has happened ever since I first installed vlc
several years ago. I'll now describe it as "works fine for some
people, but not for others", which is not exactly an improvement ;-)
I have a problem with Dragon player instead. DVD plays, but I cannot point and
click on the DVD menu (sections, sound, subtitles etc). Nothing happens.
Sorry about your problems with dragon - I no longer use kde.
I did a check using vlc and kde. The dvd didn't play at first because I
didn't have libdvdcss built. After I built it, it played fine in a
window and fullscreen. No hesitations and sound was fine.
I did note a lot of messages in the terminal that I launched vlc from.
Perhaps we need to add libdvdcss to the vlc dependencies.
