Playing DVD
Neil Waldhauer:
There is a new libdvdcss out. VLC comes with dvdcss.dll, which libdvdcss comes with dvdcss2.dll. Can VLC use dvdcss2.dll?
By the way, I tried playing DVD on Windows XP, and that works the same as OS/2. Reading further, Windows Media Player did not have decoding. I downloaded VLC 2.2.0 for Windows, and DVD plays fine.

Neil Waldhauer:
Sadly, no luck with fix1. Maybe there is some config I haven't done.
Neil Waldhauer:
Actually, can anyone play a commercial DVD (one that is encrypted) with the new VLC?
As far as I know, most commercial DVD are encrypted.
David McKenna:
Yes, I can play commercial DVD's with the new VLC and the fix. Using the DVD menu is definitely flakey. Try opening by Open File... and navigating to the drive and video file and playing directly, skipping the menu. That has worked for me on several occasions. I do have one video set (Lord of the Rings) that I can play but not watchable because it is out of sync and pixellated... maybe there are issues with our port of libdvdcss.
