I did get the latest version of vlc media player. I can get the first
episode on a dvd to play but that is it. I think I need an earlier version.

I think all VLC users and potential users should send an email to VLC
to let them know it is great software, but it's accessibility is not
consistent between versions. Let them know which versions work
reasonably well and which versions are useless. In VLC, the interface
seems to be architected to be separated from the functionality. I
think they have several interface skins that they switch around and
tinker with for each release. For our community, it would be nice if
they provided an accessible skin that stayed accessible and probably
consistent in each version. Of course, there needs to be an easy way
to select the accessible interface.
Do you have a copy of the accessible 0.8 version available to share if
it is not on the standard download webpage? Posting a link to a file
in your DropBox or SendSpace.com would work.

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I
am working on things that matter.

The context menu, and normal menus work fine in 0.86, but, yes, in
1.1 that downloaded just now, they don't seem to be really usable at
all...

I asked this question earlier in another group. the response I
recieved is not only is it menu driven but it is also easily
navigated by the application key which pulls up the context menu. I
uninstalled it because I thought it was inaccessible. I have not had
the opportunity to reinstall and check out the context menu choices
yet. HTH

I've downloaded VLC, but cannot seem to get around in any menus.
How exactly should I go about playing a DVD? I have XP Pro and use
JAWS 8 or 10 depending on what program I am trying to use.
Thanks,
Ken

Hello all!
Want an accessible DVD and media player? Look no further than VLC
Media Player! You can select what part of the DVD you want to play
simply by using the VLC Media Player menus. No inaccessible DVD
menu to navigate; just select what you want from the user
interface. You can even select an audio described track if you
have one.
You can download this free and open source program from
www.videolan.org. It even works with Windows 7 so you don't have
to use Windows Media Player, which is good but does not have an
accessible DVD player.
Enjoy!
