Hi,

several DVDs, all with videos which can be played with a dvd video recorder, are
not SEEN by all the programs I tried on a SuSE 11.2 installation.

The DVDs are from different sources, so misalignment is not the cause.

What parameters or user rights must be set to be able to SEE the contents of a
video DVD?

The point is: not the files, already the DVD itself is not recognized.

Thank you
+ Happy Easter

What's your desktop environment? Gnome? KDE4? XFCE? Windowmaker? Text
console?

How are you trying to look at the contents? A video player application?
One of the file managers from the above desktop environments? Maybe
just plain ls ?

What's seen in /var/log/messages when you insert the DVDs?

As a guess, and since you've not provided very much to work on it's
going to be a wild stab in the dark, the discs you're wanting to watch
employ CSS and you possibly don't have libdvdcss installed. If you
don't, you can find it in the videolan repo.

Okay.

From the look of things, they aren't normal DVDs. If they aren't
commercially bought DVDs, what was used to create them? Exactly
what format were they wrote as?

Well, we're getting somewhere. Don't ask me where as I'm no good at
geography, and my sat-nav doesn't work indoors.

Content Scrambling System. Supposed to prevent discs being copied, or
played without "authorised" software. Google for DVD Jon and/or decss.

I have no idea about the format.

Discs were burnt by some programs and also by a Sony DVD recorder, also by an LG
DVD recorder.

Saw something like that on a music cd, just when trying to PLAY it on a PC.
Really annoying.
