Many DVDs I was previously able to play on my laptop will now not play beyond the main menu. Clicking any menu item or pressing "Skip" has the DVD player briefly (for a fraction of a second) try to play the selected movie/menu (I can tell because the chapter markers briefly pop up on the timeline), but it always ends up just replaying the main menu or stopping video playback altogether. I've included the entire log at the end of this message. For some reason, it has this issue on some DVDs and not others (i.e. "Love and Mercy" and "The Ren & Stimpy Show Uncut," but not the Criterion Collection release of "Rebecca").
Resetting the Preferences had no effect. Disabling "Start directly in menu" in the preferences either results in no playback or (on rare occasions) the following error message repeated every few seconds: "DVDRead could not read 1/4 blocks at 0x05"
Reinstalling VLC Media Player (including to the latest nightly build) had no effect, nor did trying other DVD players.
I wonder if it has something to do with me going to the UK and changing my Region settings for a semester (I was able to play the DVDs in the US before the move); but the Windows Settings say everything's back to the US Region settings now, so I'm not sure if this is the issue unless I'm missing some hidden advanced setting.
Or it may have something to do with copy protection? The working "Rebecca" DVD has a CP "copy protected" logo on the back whereas the other DVDs do not.
I'm sure this is a software issue rather than a problem with my disc drive, as it has completely no issues with ripping, burning, and playing back CDs.
Help would be extremely appreciated!!
