Hello!
I bought on Amazon two sets of DVDs ("Yes, minister" and "Yes, prime minister" complete
collections). Knowing that they'we marked as "US/Canada" region I thought that
I'll need to set the region code of my DVD player to "1" and that would be enough
to view/copy the files. The first set "Yes minister" played/copied without any problem,
even without the need to change the region code.
But the second set - neither "vlc" nor "cp" can read the files.
I set the region code to "1" - still the same.
I checked it with 2 disks from the second set - the same so it's probably
not a bad media issue. The DVD drive is relatively new so hardware errors in it
are also not likely (it plays other DVDs OK).
Here's what "cp" complained and the list of packages that I think are relevant:
