DVD Navigation

[htwho]

I need help with VLC's media controls. Does VLC support DVD menu navigation? WMP 11 offers that by allowing me to press the menu buttons like you can with a DVD player but VLC doesn't seem to have the ability to do that. When I click with the mouse in VLC, it goes into fullscreen mode.

Any helpful feedback is appreciated.

I seem to remember that you right-click within the window to bring up the normal menu/DVD menu (though I was using a different VLC skin).

Looked into MPC?

Radish?

I thought VLC player was the ultimate media player... Does it really not have DVD navigation controls?

I haven't used MPC extensively but if VLC can't navigate then I will ask for more details on MPC.

I threw away VLC media player and installed K-Lite Mega Codec, which also includes Media Player Classic.

K-lite is dirty :p

VLC lets me use my mouse on DVD menus, and also the arrow keys if I wish. What version were you using? Regardless tho, VLC is not the "ultimate" media player. I guess it's all a matter of opinion tho :)

Do you have a .dll file called libdvnav in your plugins folder? Should be there but I'd recommend a fresh install of VLC. I rarely use VLC and all my settings are default so I really don't know what else you can do ^^;

Instead of opening a DVD (or DVD image) as dvdsimple:// you should choose dvd://

To do this from the wxWidgets interface: File >> Open File>> Disk>> make sure when selecting your DVD (or DVD image) you remember to choose DVD (menus) instead of DVD on the top radio buttons.

AFAIK, to play DVD images (ripped DVDs that are sitting on a local disk) in WMP 11 you would have to mount them first using some sort of utility like DAEMON tools.

Back again...

I cannot open a ripped Video_TS folder with DVD menus in VLC. Any help? I can use DVD menus if I actually chose a DVD drive but what about a Video_TS folder on a hard disk? I tried the Open Directory option but the DVD opened with NO DVD menus.

Anyone? I would like to watch it now...
