Thanks everyone for the help. Without this site I wouldn't get very far.
I just installed a DVD/CD player along with the VLC Media Player software on one of my computers and had some questions.
I read what I could find but I didn't see any info on this. I just want to play a DVD, not rip or anything else. I may be doing this wrong I don't know for sure until some one tells me I am.
To play a DVD I insert the DVD and the **what do I want to do** window opens. I click on **Play DVD movie using VideoLAN VLC media player** and click OK. Nothing happens there. So I open the VLC player from the desktop icon, click on play, click the disc tab, browse to the drive the disc is in and click on it, click OK, and then click on play at the bottom of the window. There is some brief activity with the DVD ROM and then a flash of something across the screen and then nothing.
Is there a certain way this software needs to be configured? I know I must be doing something incorrectly, because only once did it play a DVD and I couldn't find the volumn indicator to turn it up so I backed out to research and could not find anything about volumn level.
Thanks for the help.
