Playing DVD
Neil Waldhauer:
I borrowed a set of Star Trek Enterprise disks that are USA encoded.
VLC 2.2.0 plays them fine on Windows XP, but Windows media player fails exactly as VLC 2.2.0 on OS/2.
Everything looks like it works, but then nothing happens. After a second, VLC gives up.
I tried opening files rather than disk, but the result is the same.
David McKenna:
Neil,
Hmmm... that sounds like what I was getting before the fix. I assume you added X:\vlc2\usr\local\lib to the LIBPATH per the README? If so, maybe there is a missing dll dependency or a codec? You can get info for the disc at Tools-> Codec Information. Might get a clue from that...

What kind of bugs me with vlc is that it uses the unix structure, but not quite. I'd like it better if it would just go in my unixroot tree. Didn't try it yet with the latest version, but 2 versions ago it wouldn't work that way. Seems like it's a prime candidate for yum/rpm installation.

it correctly installs into @UNIXROOT/usr/local, which is where things that aren't installed by the package manager goes on many Unix systems. Usually /usr/local/bin is in front of /usr/bin in the PATH, same with the other local directories and almost all Unix programs when built with the defaults install into /usr/local
