Yesterday I attached an extra DVD-drive, via eSATA. With that I can play a region-coded DVD with VLC, although the menu of the DVD is barely usable. The menu is there but the image is severely distorted so I have to guess where the "clickpoints" are. Once the movie is playing it's fine. Have to experiment more though.
Now I see that I never mentioned the drive is a BlueRay drive.

The same holds for BlueRay devices - ie, what I wrote in the earlier post.
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to really look at this but checkout the settings I mentioned in my earlier post - those setting cover blueray, audio, and dvd.

I tried some more. I installed Ubuntu and had the same problems, but on a website of Ubuntu I read about regionset, so I downloaded and installed it. The internal drive seemed not to have any region setting, so I tried setting it to 2, the region I'm in. Then I could play a dvd with the internal drive. I restored OS12.3 and then I also could play a dvd with the internal drive, with vlc. Conclusion : some drives need a region-code before they can play dvd's. Unfortunately, it's not a complete success. Like mentioned before, some dvd's can be played but the menu is barely usable. Another's menu is really unusable (invisible). Another dvd has jumping video playback. One dvd had really weird video : some area's of the screen good, other area's only an outline of the image, ... All region 2 dvd's. I think there is something going wrong writing to the amd-video driver. Although I tried a region 3 dvd's that play 100% ok AFAIK. Regionfree dvd's seem to play ok also. Inserting a dvd gives a message in the notifier, but there is no choice for playing it. Just opening it with dolphin or image-viewers. And that's with a number of entries for vlc in the device-actions. Another thing : kaffeine always displays a crash-window when I start it. When I click it away, it seems to run but I can't play anything with it. More suggestions ?
