Error playing DVDs

I get the following error when trying to play DVDs

Code:

libdvdread: Invalid IFO for title 1 (VTS_01_0.IFO).

xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.

I believe I have all the proper packages

Code:

bash-3.1# ls /var/log/packages/ | grep dvd

dvd+rw-tools-7.1-x86_64-1

libdvdcss-1.2.10-x86_64-1_SBo

libdvdnav-4.1.3-x86_64-1_SBo

libdvdplay-1.0.1-x86_64-1_SBo

libdvdread-4.1.3-x86_64-1

I'm using slackware64 (if you hadn't noticed from the package names). I have tried running as root and still no luck, I didn't expect that to matter anyway. I have tried with xine, dragon and gxine. All have the same problem, I can watch the intro but it fails out when it tries to load the menu.

Thanks in advance

This error should be fixed in the version of libdvdread that I compile into my VLC package. Try to download the vlc package here: http://slackware.org.uk/3rd-party/al...lc/pkg64/13.0/ and see if that plays your DVD.

Eric

Thanks! Downloaded and installed, I'll pop in a DVD when I get home.

Sorry for the response delay, but VLC produces the following output and does not play the disc

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

some CSS keys it seems ;)
This might be a specially copy protected DVD.
... it might!

As a personal preference I almost always use mplayer - but it will probably also try to use the same libdvdread which fails to read this DVD.
I'd therefore not expect it to work better than the other players, but I'd try.

I have had succes with a DVD (wall-e) which could be played, but not be ripped correctly, by using "wine" and a windows-progam "dvdfab".

That is all I can contribute.

HTH

I get a similar result for any DVD I have tried thus far.

Depending on how mplayer for Slackware was built it might indeed be worth a try.
AFAIK it uses - if not told otherwise - internal versions of libdvdread, libdvdnav and libdvdcss - which (again: might) be the source of your problem.

I don't know Slackware at all!
Trying to upgrade/use different versions of those libs could help, if this happens frequently for you.
