<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"> <html><body> Hi Thomas, I already installed and ran the .sh file. I rebooted and tried VLC but the video was distorted. A strange sidenote: when I tried with Xine, it gave an error that it "couldn't increase the nice value by 1". As this computer is setup for realtime audio production, perhaps there is a problem somewhere with priorities..?? brian On Wed, 22 Jun 2016 19:59:31 +0200, Thomas Pfundt wrote: <blockquote type="cite" style="padding-left:5px; border-left:#1010ff 2px solid; margin-left:5px; width:100%">Hi Brian, my spontaneous guess would be that you haven't installed libdvdread yet, try executing the following in a terminal: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh Also, restart VLC after that and tell me if it worked?

Although I use this pc primarily for music (low latency kernel, etc), I wanted to watch some (commercial) DVDs. But I have had problems and although I have installed the Ubuntu-restricted-extras package, I cannot get a DVD to work right (I prefer using SMplayer, although I also tried with VLC, Xine, and another called "Video"). Any help appreciated, as this is a bit urgent, unfortunately. Thanks! brian <div> </div> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset></blockquote> </blockquote> <div> </div> </body></html>
