You might have to configure VLC to play dvd content. I don't have vlc
on my machine, but usually, a media player has some kind of area in the
preferences that determines what file types the player will grab, so
look for something like dvd content or something similar. For ripping
dvd audio to mp3, there is absolutely nothing better than DVD audio
extractor. It's not a free program, but it works like a charm.

just plain _will not_ play it! Windows Media will play some of it, but then
it stops and seems to just freeze up!

Hi tom,
I wonder if you could rip the DVDs and then watch the ripped files. That's
all I can think of so far.

Subject: Reposting Problem With DVD
Hello list: Certainly someone can help me with this problem; I posted it
last night and got no replies! I am really wanting to play this DVD set I
got as it is the band I work in when we worked a show back in November! My
portable DVD player would play it, but am having problems with that machine
(not because of the DVD in question) but for some rreason I cannot charge
the battery! Back to my original problem: I have these DVDs that were made
of a show I and the band were involved in; when I put the DVD into the disk
drive, VLC comes up.but that's about as far as it will go! So I then tried
physically going to my D drive and pressed "enter, where I was promptly told
that Windows could not access the specified device, path or file; it goes on
to say that I may not have the permissions to access this device, which is
bullsh** (I paid for these DVDs and I want to see them! I've managed to
watch some of it with Windows Media Player. However it tells me something
about "transisioning so much percent (don't understand that either) then
after a few minutes, the video stops playing! Am running Windows 7 (home
edition) if this helps any! Surely there is someone on this fine list that
can tell me what it is I need to do to make these DVDs play! I know there
are some on here that swear by VLC (they say that VLC will play anything;
well ya can't prove it by me! So I await your response and will post any
updates that I can share!
