What program is producing the message? Synaptic? VLC?

Shouldn't be synaptic since not in it; the log option came from the log symbol within 'utilities' which I assume is either kde or part of the debian os.
The log message am looking for came from the vlc when bluray failed to function.

It's working for me. You should click on the hyperlink rather than copying the link text as not all of the URL is included in the text.

If you are unable to, though, the URL is:

You can set the location and verbosity level for the VLC log file like this:

Select Tools → Preferences from the menu (or type CTRL + P)
In the Show settings radio buttons at the bottom left of the preferences window, click 'All'
Go to Advanced → Logging in the preferences tree
According to the manpage, this is what the different levels of verbosity mean:

0 = silent
1 = info/warning messages
2 = debug

it says
