I've just noticed VLC 2.1.5 64 bit can't play DVDs without nasty
corruption on the screen.

I guess it might be the particular Nvidia drivers I'm using at the
moment but other players play DVDs fine.

Anyway at present I'm becoming less and less impressed by VLC.

That's because you're using it on Windows. And Windows isn't quite
there
yet with 64-bit. Microsoft doesn't even have a 64-bit version of
Visual Studio yet, as far as I know.

I just tried VLC 2.1.5 32 bit for Windows and it has exactly the same
problem.

Note that this the same whether or not the DVD is CSS protected.

You probably need to change the VLC settings; probably something to do
with the video card.

Nah. It's Windows. :-D

You're an idiot, Chris Ahlstrom.

Why? Because he is right?

There is no reason to believe that the underlying operating system is
the cause of the problem he is experiencing. If it was, ALL DVD playback
programs would not work which is not the case.


He posted that it does not work regardless if the DVD is CSS protected or
not. You have to conclude that it is indeed wintendo which has its dirty
fingers all over it. And windows *does* have put more and more restrictions
on media play since WinXP. Including crippling high-end audio cards and
limiting which kind of video can be played.

That you guys accept that kind of dictatorship is telling. Only Mac fanbois
are even dumber in what they accept
