Not able to load DVD menu

[pschonmann]

I tried to load DVD. Inserted and played via menu "open in videoplayer". Start is too choppy and glitchy squares are everywhere. See screenshot.

Same situation is in vlc but picture seems to be better, but still fail. On Windows VLC everything is ok

Problem solved by installing libdvdnav-dev libdvdread-dev packages

[pschonmann (pschonmann)]

Maybe caused by not seeting DVD region. Ive tested it on work notebook which was from factory, not for fun. I expect nobody set DVD region there.

[22:09:55] dvd: Region mask 0xff
[22:09:55] dvd: Warning, DVD device has no region set

On another machine adding these packages doesnt resolve problem :(

[pschonmann (pschonmann)]

This helps, i think this can be closed.

Stupid copy protections :(

Today I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 (yes, a little late). When I opened totem on the same DVD I had watched yesterday it refused to display the "DVD menu". Yesterday, using 10.04, this worked flawlessly. Today, using 10.10, selecting "DVD menu" just stops the presentation; after restarting it always displays the first chapter of the DVD.

I used Synaptic to install totem-xine but that did not make any difference.

I looked at pschonmann's link but it does not seem related to my problem. The libdvdnav-dev and libdvdread-dev packages were installed on my system.

I can gladly provide details about the DVD if that helps.

[pschonmann (pschonmann)]

Try

sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

it worked for me.

[Aisano (info-ais-sanmarino)]

Děkují mnohokrát, Pschonmann. It did not quite solve my problem but I can display the menu of some DVDs ‒ though not the one that worked the day before yesterday, before I "downgraded" to 10.10.
