Trouble Playing DVD with VLC

Hey guys, I have been working at this for a few hours now, but I cant seem to get it working. Playing downloaded videos (mp4, mkv, avi, etc...) work fine. However, dvds will not play at all. When I open the disc from vlc it gets pretty pissed and I have to reboot via CLI to close it. I have tried to rip it with handbrake but handbrake crashes also. Maybe its related. I'm not sure. Here is my vlc log. Maybe somebody here can point me in the right direction. thanks!

Re: Trouble Playing DVD with VLC

You need libdvdcss installed to decrypt DVDs: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … libdvdcss/

Try that first and report the results.
