I have recently been trying to play and rip some old family DVDs created
by myself back in 2007.
The DVDs won't play with vlc:
- vlc just displays the menu an stops there
- it is possible to navigate to other menu pages (when there are more
than one)
- clicking on a scene results in nothing
At the time when these DVDs were created (2007), they played fine in
vlc:
- Clicking on an image in the DVD menu made that scene play
- There was a menu in the vlc gui that listed all scenes/chapters, and
selecting a scene would make it play
The DVDs also play fine on regular DVD players (i.e. the ones you
connect to a TV).
Handbrake doesn't find anything it recognizes as titles or chapters, but
ripping the individual VOB files works.
Is this a known issue? Is it fixed in a newer version of libdvdnavn?
I've been googling for a libdvdnav issue tracker, but haven't found
one...?
The structure of the VIDEO_TS folder on these DVDs, looks like this:
/media/sb/061022_1804/VIDEO_TS:

(the small VOB files are animated parts of the DVD menu, I think. At
least what the contain is menu stuff).
Thanks!
