i have installed netrunner 13.12 and i can’t get Vlc to play dvd’s?
it says Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disc “/dev/dvd1”.
Your input can’t be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL ‘dvd:///dev/dvd1’. Check the log for details. Does anyone know how to fix this.
(layman instructions pls)

If you want to play an encrypted dvd you need a library that is able to decrypt your dvds css.

Like Handbrake, which is a great media converter too:
