can't play dvd's

I can't get any of my dvd's to play normali, aka with menues and everithing. I can play each individual .vob file, but not the whole dvd like it should be. I've been on arch for quite some time now, but I never tryed dvd's till now. I have vlc and all the dvd stuff (libdvdread, libdvdcss, libdvdnav). How can I get them to vork?

In vlc, go to menu, open disc, and in that dialog, it will ask you for a disc device, try /dev/dvd, then click play, that should work fine.

Re: can't play dvd's

I tryed to open the dvd that way, but it doesnt work.

Playback failure:
DVDRead could not open the disk "/dev/dvd".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd'. Check the log for details.

Zariel, I don't have those two and pacman cant find them in the repos.

There's no dash in the names.
