[vlc] VLC Player not working on 2nd and 3rd discs

[John Sisker]

To Whom It May Concern:

It was recommended that I download http://www.videolan.org/vlc in order to play PAL formats in the United States, which works fine - well almost. It does play the Regional Codes that my Toshiba DVD Player will not. Likewise, I am indeed limited to only 5 Regional changes with my Toshiba Player.

Now I can play the PAL format, at least on my PC - with one exception.

And that exception is, I think is really the fault of two bad discs. It might be good to mention that the PAL format in question is really a 3-set DVD of John Silver's Return to Treasure Island. Through the VLC Player, disc one works fine. However, discs two and three not so. It tries to play the picture, but I get garbled sound and a picture seemingly trying to build itself as a mixture of regular video and large squares of unrelated computer blocks moving all around the screen. I figured this is caused by faulty discs, for disc one (and others) work just fine.

Needless to say, I don't want to try to adjust anything, for fear of messing up ever disc one. Based on this information, do you also think the problem is with the discs themselves or elsewhere?

Sincerely,
John Sisker
