[DVDnav-discuss] Problems with libdvdread 4.2

[Guy Dawson]

Hi

In common with many other people,  I appear to be having problems with
libdvdread.

Whilst I am in no tearing hurry to resolve this,  and I am currently happy
to await a resolution,  I thought it might be helpful to share my
experience.

I have been using VLC under Fedora for some time now,  and have had no
major problems until I upgraded to F17.  With the current setup, I cannot
play DVD using VLC.  A similar problem occurs if I try lsdvd,  which give
this result ;

The point I want to make here is that this happens with Disney's Toy
Story, which is a disc that I have defineatly played in the past using
VLC.  This implies that whatever the problem is,  it is a regression
rather that a new bug.

Note that this happend on both X86_64 & i686 systems.

I this information helps...
