DVD reading broken (?)

[Mattia Verga]

What's the package responsible to read DVDs?

I'm asking that because I've just realized that I cannot read video DVDs after exactly the first 1024MB... I was trying to copy a video DVD to an ISO image with k3b and it always got stuck after the first 1024MB. So I tried with other video DVDs and all behave the same.

I've tried to play the DVD with VLC, but it stops after a while as described also by another user in a post [1].

I think it could be a general problem with DVD reading, not a k3b or vlc one. Which package should I open a bug against?

Thanks
Mattia

For DVDs which aren't copy-protected

k3b > Tools > Copy Medium > 'Create Image' and 'Only Create Image'

usually works for me.

That's what I've always done, too. But now with F31 the copy stops at 1024MByte and doesn't go further...

Is the trouble reading past that point, or writing an ISO file greater
than 1GB?  Where is it writing to (including anywhere it caches to
before writing to your chosen file)?  It it tmpfs partition?

wrote a 3.5 GB DVD [1] and
read/played it with VLC

all nice here.

brasero-3.12.2-9.fc31.x86_64
kernel-5.3.11-300.fc31.x86_64
vlc-3.0.9-21.fc31.x86_64

Never mind, it seems it was due to libdvdcss installed from unitedrpms repository. I've reinstalled it from another source and now everything works.
