[Software] how to read a DvD?

#1 Post by mathew2214 »

i am trying to play a DvD. i have installed vlc and libdvdcss2 and libdvd-pkg. i then did dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg and i let that compile. but i still cannot read any DvD. the drive is a Matshita BD-MLT UJ272


here's my dmesg form trying to do "vlc /dev/sr0" with the DvD in the drive.

Code: Select all

Looks like it can't physically see the disk. I have this happen occasionally. Wipe it down with alcohol and try again. Usually works for me.

Maybe try cleaning the lens.
Or another drive.
I don't think any extra cents are wasted on making robust optical drives any more.

This drive works very well with BluRays, just not DVDs. So I know the drive itself is functional. The DVDs in question play fine in my PS3, so the discs are readable.
I think I have sufficiently ruled out hardware failure or unreadable media. This must be a software issue.

Your dmesg output disagrees with you.
