Hi all!<br>
This does not have to do about media quality or media damage.<br>
This is applicational, I tested new brand DVDs and old DVDs, with VLC,
mpalyer and at common set top DVD player, only mplayer failed. :-(<br>
<br>
About the quality and protection of the the stream that resides on the
DVDs I saw evidences that there are some issues.<br>
If we read the latests release notes for the new versions for
libdvdnav/libdvdread/libmpeg2 they all are pointing to deal with some
quality issues.<br>
And they manage how to have some improvements related to.<br>
<br>
Is not possible to put here all links, some I do not have here...<br>
<br>

Thanks!<br>

Poor quality fabrication and copy protection are separate problems.
If you have a genuinely damaged disk, Linux will be better able to extract
what's left than Windows will. It's the Atari 800 style broken sector
copy protection that Linux tools tend to barf on.
Genuine bad disks can play fine in console players while giving modern
high speed computer DVD drives fits. This stuff needs to be considered on a
disk by disk basis. There's no silver bullet for this problem, not even
running AnyDVD.
Thank the film industry...
