The player on my pc kept wanting me to "unlock the full version" meaning $$$ so I came to youtube and voila, found your "how to". Very simple. Again, I appreciate it so much. Get so tired of everything being about $$. Used to have all of that on your PC for free.

What do you mean? I have a Dell, Win 10, and VLC. I just purchased a new commercial set of DVDs (Longmire), and the computer doesn't even recognize that there is a disk in the disk drive. Yet, an older dvd I'd previously purchased works just fine. I'm really frazzled....

@@coeneschamaun1735 I'm not an expert with DVDs, but I can try and guess a few things that explain that. Maybe your DVDs are different in some way? Like, maybe your computer doesn't recognize it because it's some kind of different type of DVD. Or maybe there's something wrong with the player itself? I don't know, I think it's best to ask a computer shop about that.

Wish you were a neighbour; I live in Japan and am a woman in my 50s always struggling to sort out computer problems thru videos like yours. Most of my friends are older females like me and if I ask them anything concerning PCs, provider contracts, whatever, they invariably tell me they have no idea and say: "I always leave it to my husband, son, son-in-law (insert any male relation here) " and it is so frustrating. Is it the same in the UK and why? Why do men seem to be more knowledgeable on the whole? BTW nice to hear a British accent again!

Hi, Vince I've downloaded the most recent version of VLC, but I'm still having issues playing DVDs, which is killin' me since I just bought the first 5 seasons of Game of Thrones (yes, I'm late to the party, so sue me!). When I open the "Discs" menu in VLC, with a DVD in the drive, the DVD is titled "E:". It doesn't play, and I get the following popup error; "Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///E:/'. Check the log for details." Going into my File Explorer, I see "DVD RW Drive (E:)". When double clicked, it prompts me to "select a DVD" and extends the tray, but DVDs still don't play. I've tried this using the standard "Media Player" installed on my computer, but that obviously doesn't work either. Any fixes for this? Thanks.

Everything great until I fired up VLC and it came up in Portuguese. I live in Portugal but the default language on my laptop is UK English and the keyboard is English. The disc would not start automatically. I have now given up. It is beyond me.I have given up because I do not know what else to try. Otherwise everything brill - I would definitely ask My Mate Vince anothe time, the instructions were so clear.
