Hi again No mine is XP , my daughters is Win7 but she is in London When I installed VLC on mine there was no option to play a DVD only to download or play a video clip No option at all even mentioning DVD , the help in the program ......... was not :-( I just looked through the Wiki and conclude you have to download or extract the film or whatever from a DVD to then view it However it does it, there does not appear to be an option for inserting a DVD and simply playing it as far as I can see It appears to be far more complex than I need , if it can play DVDs it appears you have to jump through hoops to achieve it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >I have to agree with Bud, Nivard. > > VLC is quite an extensive program and is widely used and well supported. > > I am sure there is a setting issue or the like. > > I play all of my DVDs with VLC and have had no issues... > > Question...

I have used VLC forever on Windows and Linux, and I guess whatever you got was not VLC. To play a DVD you just put one in and it plays. There is an extensive menu system which includes the help. The menu system gives options to open other media types including network. If you didn't see any of that, you have not got VLC. Where did you download it?
