After having the same problems with The Fighter and Capote, some experimentation with vlc actually got them working fine. It might work for some of the other problem dvds, so it's worth trying at least.
(Replace /dev/sr0 with your own dvd drive in the command below: vlc's dvdsimple option disables dvd menus, and I start the film at a specific chapter and title (just 40 seconds in for Capote, and at the start for The Fighter (for some reason #69:1 works). (The aspect ratio will be wrong for some reason, so just adjust it in the options; stating it on the cmd-line didn't seem to work) For Capote: vlc dvdsimple://dev/sr0#1:1 :disc-caching=300 :start-time=40.000 For The Fighter: vlc dvdsimple://dev/sr0#69:1 :disc-caching=300 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377414 Title: libdvdread runs out of memory following libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1913 on certain DVDs - Copy protection on The Dark Knight and other recent DVDs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdvdread/+bug/377414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
