VLC has it's own codecs and I recently discovered an option for
switching to system codecs as well (at least in windows). In my
experience VLC can play any DVD but some will visual problems in the
menu. Menu's don't have standard coding but from my understanding a
DVD will always use VOB for the actual video's making VLC work
99.99% of the time. Since vlc uses built in codecs it can play
DVD's without the need to add new codecs however if you wish to play
VLC on say Windows Media Player (presuming you use Windows) then I'd
suggest downloaded Matroska splitter and ffdshow (just use the
defaults and click through the installations, the options will
confuse the heck out of most people including me who's actually
quite adept at this stuff [granted I don't do a lot of vid
editing]).<br>
