I installed vlc but, no matter what I tried, the vcd I have refused to
play. I tried a video I have in a folder, that played, I tried a dvd
that I had made, that played so I can only assume that I am failing to
do something which is so obvious that I cannot see it. My son assures me
that the vcd does play on his dvd player so any help will be gratefully
received.
