Commericial DVD won't play in Ogle DVD Player - Wary

[mcman56]

This is my first expereience with Ogle. It will play a DVD recorded on a Sony TV type DVD recorder but will not play or load a commercial DVD. Do I need to load something else?

Nothing extra needed, commercial DVDs should play. Perhaps there is the odd one that cannot be decrypted? All of my collection play ok.

I tried another commercial DVD and it played OK. It looks like it is a DVD specific issue. I did not realize that they could be different.

Pour faire remonter Ogle, DVD player, is worth to be used more (succeeds when umplayer and smplayer fail)
Default DVD player in Saluki 013
(install pet glibc Needs glibc 2.10.

Nevertheless, Ogle failed... reading my futbol DVD), excepted with wary 511

Tested Ok in precise 5.4.3 (pet available PPM wary 5 : 350K)

Sometimes there is DMCA protection on commercially manufactured CDs and DVDs which allows them to play in a DVD *PLAYER* but not in a *COMPUTER* -

I discovered this when a few of the CDs I'd bought off ebay would not play.

Answer? Insert them into a portable DVD drive connected to the machine.

The DVD or CD thinks it's inside a *PLAYER* and I then play it in VLC or whatever...

Worth knowing. An ebay shop / retailer told me about the DMCA restrictions, and I tried my portable DVD-RW drive and have no problems now...

All The Best!
