desktop crashes, vlc fails when I try to read a dvd movie
Asked by
LEGOManiac
I'm trying to play a DVD movie under lubuntu. When I start it with VLC it plays briefly and fails. When I just try to open the Video_ts file, the desktop "crashes". That is to say, any open windows I have close, the desktop goes blank and a moment later resets itself to the plain desktop with menus - I presume it crashed and was automatically restarted.
I suspect the problem is with the codecs. I have the full medibuntu suite installed. Any other sources of codecs I can try?
For what it's worth, the k-lite codec suite in Windows won't play it either. I haven't had a chance yet to try it on a commercial DVD player.
