I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional installed - not installed in a virtual drive - and have the VLC (version 2.1.3 for Windows) installed there. Last night I booted into W#7 to watch a Blu-ray disc but accidentally (force of habit I guess as VLC is what I use in openSUSE) selected VLC to view this Bd disc. To my total surprise VLC played that Bd disc perfectly and flawlessly! However, when I went back to openSUSE VLC (which is version 2.1.4, btw) in openSUSE had a hernia (as usual) and wouldn't even recognise that a Bd disc was inserted! So, the question is: why is VLC in Windows able to perfectly play Bd discs while in openSUSE it is a brain-dead application re Blu-ray? I have checked in YaST and there are libbluray* rpms installed. I know that this debate took place not long ago about whether to have VLC from openSUSE or from videolan.org installed and I am now wondering if this debate was more relevant than thought at that time. The VLC for Windows which I have installed comes from videolan.org itself, but the VLC which doesn't play Bd discs in openSUSE comes from openSUSE. Can anybody throw some light on this, please?
