Hubby says you have to right click on "play with" command that comes up when you put the DVD in and CHOOSE VLC or set it as your default. |
Well, I put in the dvd of Avatar (which plays perfectly on my dvd player by the way).
So up comes all the prompts that I can choose from to play a dvd.
I chose the VLC thing.
This is what I got on the screen.

File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "dvd:E:\".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:E:\'. Check the log for details.
