Hi I have a few Blu-Ray movies on my hard drive that include the menu's and everything else from the movie, and I'm finding it difficult to access the menus while playing the movie in VLC Media Player. I also just recently upgraded my version of VLC Media Player to version 2.0. Any help would be appreciated, Unless someone can recommend a better program besides VLC, where I can access the menus from a Blu-Ray movie or DVD movie. Thanks.

I had updated before I tried this as someone in the #videolan channel told me to upgrade, and now I am using version 2.0.1

Have you gotten confirmation that blu-ray menus are supported in VLC? I'm not aware that VLC has any support for blu-ray menus yet, only that it's still being worked on. I've got a few blu-ray discs here & have never seen VLC display menus for any of them.

It's never been a big deal since it's usually pretty easy to find the main .m2ts file in the Stream folder & just play that in VLC. Otherwise, for myself I'd just play them in Nero Kwik Media since it has full blu-ray playback support (it's part of the Nero suite, not free). Other people use something like PowerDVD or WinDVD (also not free).
