I can read my own BD with VLC, but have no commercial one to try

I don't have a "commercial" Bd either.
So, which vlc are you using- the one from openSUSE or one which you downloaded directly from Videolan and installed (possibly using the 1-clik install)?
I am using the one from oS and it is version 2.1.2 Rincewind (whatever 'Rincewind' is) in 13.1 (I haven't looked at what I have in 12.3 but I do know that that one came from Videolan).
The VLC from openSUSE? or Packman? Have you added the vlc-codecs? Do you need libdvdcss? Hi,
After re-reading the thread, one thing puzzles me... afaicr, BD is supposed to be using a stronger encryption than the one used on DVD's. If that is really true, one should not be able to pay commercial BD's with only libdvdcss.
Or is that just a bunch of FUD spread by "uncle Walt" & Sony ... ?
Yes, it's true it's a different system and harder, but it sounds like progress has been made...

I have read the above 2 URLs and I thank you for them. I am aware about what is stated in the first URL but the second one added some knowledge - but was of no real help :-( . As I stated in my first post, I have *NO* problems in viewing Blu-ray discs in openSUSE 12.3. No hassles. It is in openSUSE *13.1* that I am having problems. I have everything-packman installed - every conceivable codec and lib-this and lib-that and lib-other but vlc comes up with error message that it cannot read h264 files, or similar, and that there is nothing I can do about it. (Shortly I will zapp vlc from my installation and try and re-install it. I am also terrified that I do something stupid and accept the upgrades/updates which are available for 12.3 as I do not want to lose the ability to view Bd discs using 12.3. Terror is a horrific thing............)
