For those who watch Video_TS files, which software do they use or which distro of Linux?
I am trying to run a DVD on Mint and will shortly try Ubuntu Studio and Slackware, I have VLC player... no good so far. And it denies permission to copy...
Video_TS files are not "files" as most people use the term "file". Video_TS on a DVD is a directory (which technically is a file).

People don't need any particular distro to play a DVD. VLC should play a DVD if installed correctly on any distro. With some distros and some DVDs, optional support software is required, such as libdvdcss2. I usually try SMplayer if I have a problem getting VLC to work.
Just as aside, you can watch the *.VOB files inside the VIDEO_TS directory with any Linux video player. I used to do this before Linux DVD support reached the point it has.
^ but that will leave you with separate, randomly cut sections of film.
at least the 2 media players i mentioned have an ability to look at the whole directory, filter out the dvd menu stuff and show you the film.
and afaics, once you got those files to your hard drive, there can't be any dvd encryption problems anymore.
