Description:
VLC always crashes when playing a DVD. This DVD is CSS-encrypted; I don't know if that makes a difference, although several unencrypted DVDs I have will play. I don't have any others to try with.

Additional info:
The package is vlc 2.0.4-4, x86_64. This doesn't happen under Ubuntu so it seems to be an Arch-specific problem.
Attached is a log of VLC's terminal output. tl;dr: It segfaults, complaining about "no VTS_TMAPT".
If it helps, the DVD I'm using is _The Prestige_.


Steps to reproduce:
1) Start VLC
2) File - Open Disc...
3) (Choose your DVD drive device)
4) Hit play
   vlc.log (2.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

I got access to a couple more CSS-encumbered discs, and it would indeed seem that this is an issue with encryption, as they all crash when I try to play them.

Could you report that to the upstream?

I'd be happy to, although it seems to be specific to Arch.

I think this bug is not related to vlc. This appears to be a bug in libdvdread.
I will be doing some tests.

Could you try your DVD with ogle?
