I am running MX-14.4 and when i open the VLC media player to watch a dvd, when i click on play all i get is:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr0'

I have tried the other options of /dev/sg1 and /dev/sg0 but with the same result. Could someone help me please

Silly me forgot to install the codecs. But having done that the dvd whilst playing seems to stop and start all the time?

Do you mean the drive starts and stops, or the video playback?

Likely just needs a bigger cache to work with, look in the preferences & see if you can increase it.
