Why is vlc (the CSS library specifically) unable to decode certain
CDs? Certain foreign film CDs work fine, but others, mostly US-based
Hollywood films don't. I was under the impression that vlc was able to
decode everything? I can hear audio on these DVDs, but the video is
weird blocks of color.
The weird thing is that if I run vlc under WINE, everything works
fine. The movie plays, but fullscreen doesn't work and the interface
is really horrible on vlc/wine.
Any solutions on how to fix this?
I am running 7.0-RELEASE on an x86 box.
All ports are up to date as of 3 days ago.

umm VLC hasn't been able to decode everything for quite a long
time install
libdvdcss
I have found personally that the movie studios have been going
all out recently in various copy protection standards that break
the DVD standard but are still playable on most of the hardware
DVD players out there. As a result I've had to resort in some cases
to running varous Windows versions of DVD rippers to get the
movies into video files and off the DVD. Your going to have to
experiment since this is also dependent on the DVD drive itself.
Once you get the DVD ripped to a video file it's generally no problem
to play it.
