Description:
VLC can not play DVD. On its bug tracker I was told that this is not a VLC bug — http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/4045 But I do not know why it doesn't work, because libdvdcss is installed.

Steps to reproduce:
Just insert a DVD and try to open it in VLC as a DVD disk.
This task depends upon

Plays fine here as well. Alexander, you did not provide much data on your configuration, and I cannot read the message in the link you provided.

Can you verify whether your user is a member of the optical group?

But why UDF? What if DVD has a different file system? Because when I insert an another DVD with UDF — it works fine.

So, this DVD doesn't work (dmesg output):
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
But this works fine:
UDF-fs: Partition marked readonly; forcing readonly mount
UDF-fs INFO UDF: Mounting volume 'DVD', timestamp 2007/07/26 19:01 (10b4)

Maybe this is still a bug in libdvdnav?

And an another moment. If I will rip DVD in ISO 9660 (that didn't worked from the optical disc) onto my hard drive — it works fine too.

P.S. Yes, my user is in the optical group.
