I was trying to use vlc to play some video DVDs. It worked on two of them but failed on two. All of them were commercial DVDs. I remember someone previously stated a rule for which DVDs vlc will not play. Could someone restate the rule?
I could not find any other application to play them either. Is there such an application? -- ======================================================================= I have had my television aerials removed.

Have you installed libdvdcss2, which is needed for decrypting some dvd's.
Mplayer includes it in the package, but vlc, xine, and ogle, etc, all need it.
Freshrpms, or Livna to get it.

I can't find libdvdcss2 on livna. Is it possible it is only on freshrpms? -- ======================================================================= "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb.

Possibly, but libdvdcss2 is the debian version. An error on my part. Try just libdvdcss.
I've just put vlc on an instance of FC5, and freshrpms is showing libdvdcss , which I installed, and I've got vlc playing DVD's ok on that.
Livna probably has it too, but I havn't got anything booted up thats using the Livna repo at the moment.
Sorry for the error.
Nigel.
