VLC Media Player

Hi All,
Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, VLC, & Jaws
16. For the life of me I can't get a movie on DVD to play with VLc.
I've tried uninstalling VLC & reinstalling using the custom settings, &
no go. I've set VLC as the default player, & checked the defaults
select all checkbox, but when choosing Play with VLc from the context menu I
can't get the DVD to start. Would y'all give me a swift kick as to how to
get DVD's to play with VLC? I know this topic was discussed the other
day, & I thought I had saved the notes, but apparently not! I've tried
a new movie from Amazon & also 1 that had been burned for us, & I can't
get either 1 to play. Thanks much.
Take care. Mike, Go Dodgers!

Hi Mike
You get VLC to play the DVD from the open with menu option in my computer/this PC once the DVD drive is selected. Now here is what I wrote to the list regarding getting DVD’s to play. What you do is go to the menu bar and find playback. Activate that, then arrow down until you find the title sub menu open that and click on the title that you want to play. Also, don’t forget to google “VLC Media Player for windows keyboard shortcuts”

Hi Debbie,
Thank you so very much! I'll give these steps
a whirl. I can't tell you how many things I've tried, but in the Playback
menu it says program unavailable, & in the Audio menu, it says audion
unvailable as well. I've tried clicking on, Titles, Chapters, & only
Lord knows what else, & can't get anything to play. Thanks again, it's
greatly appreciated.
Take care. Mike, Go Dodgers!

The Open menu under VLC should also do it. You get there by either right clicking or using the Alt Key. It gives you several options, one of which is disk. Look at that menu, choose your options, if any, then Enter on the Disk button; it should take off. You might also want to try the trick I mentioned yesterday, disabling disk menus, and going with the much simpler menu structure built into the program. You might also take it out of default, and allow Windows to ask what you want to do with the disk. That usually does it too.

Mine is intermittent. Some thimes I can get it to play and other times I just can’t get it to go. When I open the menu and arrow down to the play pause it will show that it is playing but no sound. I tried playing with the mute but the doesn’t seem to help either. I will try the steps layed out here and see if I can get it to go. Tom Bisset

Hi Ted,
I've tried everything debbie, yourself, &
others have suggested, & I can't get a DVD to play. I'm wondering that
if by coincidence that the 2 DVD's I'm working with are defective in some
way. Thank you very much for re-posting your suggestions.
Take care. Mike, Go Dodgers!

Not impossible; I had an Eastwood once that wouldn’t play for money, marbles or chalk. Try another title.
