Can iPad play DVD w/ MENU (.IFO) files?

Handbrake will not work as this converts VOB files without navigation menues found in the IFO files. Is there any way to get interactive multimedia DVD on the iPad. I am hoping that VLC is approved soon, so I can just copying over the .dvdmedia package and just open the appropriate .IFO file and go to town...

Discussing how to illegally rip DVD's is not appropriate. Find out how to figure out your issues elsewhere.
Dude, who says I'm illegally copying DVDs, that was quite rude and unhelpful. I have a language CD from another country that is menu intensive, and I have authorization to copy this for my own personal use.

  • Can ipad play rmvb files?

    can ipad play rmvb files?

    Here is a shot introduction about RMVB format:
    RMVB files are famous for distributing Asian content, especially Chinese television episodes and movies. For this reason, they have become noticeably present on file sharing platforms such as BitTorrent, eDonkey and Gnutella. But it is not entirely popular, partly due to their incompatibility with other media players like iPhone, iPod, iPad, iTunes, QuickTime, iMovie, Android, Xbox 360, PS3, Apple TV and more. That is what more and more people are trying their best to seek a way to play RMVB on Mac and Windows.
    From above, we know that iPad does not support RMVB files. To play RMVB files in iPad and above devices, even more, you'd better to convert RMVB to some more common formats like MP4.
    Hope it will help you more or less.

  • Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

    I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
    With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
    [0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

    With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
    With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
    Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
    On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
    I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
    That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
    Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

  • Can't play dvd's in quicktime

    I'm trying to convert movies to MP4 to get them on my I-pod video. I get how to do that, but I'm trying to simply open a DVD on quicktime, and i can't! I open finder, double click on the DVD name and all that comes up is VIDEO_TS, and all i can get from there is a bunch of random files... Does anybody know why i can' open DVD's on quicktime?

    QT does not play DVD movies natively. Apple does sell a mpeg2playbackcomponent that plays some DVDs but it has a number of limitations, including that it will not play mpeg-2 in transport stream format. It also will not play encrypted commercial DVD movies or sound that is in AC3 format. It does not export sound from mpeg2. Read the FAQ for the component here:

  • I just updated Itunes to the newest version and now my entire song library is saying 'can't play this song because original file can't be found'.  ***??

    I have no idea what happened!?  I just updated Itunes on my macbook and now my entire song library won't play.  When I click on a song it says it can't play because it can't find the original file.  How is this possible?  The original files are on my computer.  I just upgraded!! HELP!!

    The only thing I can think of is that you deleted these files off your computer without using iTunes to do it. Or maybe you backed up your computer to a previous state to where these song files didn't exist? The last one doesn't even make sense to me unless you used Time Machine to do it. But those are the only things I can think of.

  • Can't play DVDs in XP

    Have you guys experienced this problem? I can play DVDS on my Mac side, but when I play a DVD in my Xp side, windows media player indicates that there is something wrong with my video card and indicates that I need to update the video card. I don't really know what's going on. I fully installed everything from the Leopard DVD.

    I am sorry to do this to you. There is no link for me to post a new topic and I don't see my question anywhere but it is somewhat related to yours...
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on my 2007 iMac with Boot Camp and everything was fine with it last night. Today, there is no DVD drive. It doesn't see it. In Hardware Manager, it says...
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
    Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
    What do I do?
    If I'm not mistaken, windows looks at the DVD drive as a removable drive. Its possible I could have accidentally "safely removed" it. But I don't know. Everything was working fine last night because I used the DVD ROM for drivers and other stuff. Today its gone.

  • Can't play DVDs with Totem

    I cannot get Totem (Movie Player under GNOME) to play unencrypted or encrypted DVDs. Although it works fairly well with mplayer, I'd rather use Totem. Whenever I insert a DVD, Totem starts automagically (as it should) but spits out an error saying that a plugin is missing. I've installed every required gstreamer plugins along with libdvdcss (for encrypted DVDs). I know I could use VLC or GMplayer or Totem-xine but frankly I'm baffled that this won't work under Arch but works fine under Ubuntu (I dual boot between these two distros). Thanks in advance.

    I think it has to be said that playing DVDs is not one of totem-gstreamer's strengths at the moment.  The Movie -> Play Disc 'Whatever' menu option just gets me the error about not having the appropriate plugins, even though I have the whole collection installed.  The command line "totem dvd://" will play a DVD but without either DVD menus or the ability to successfully change the audio track (so no viewing Night Watch without learning Russian first, for example!).
    Swapping out totem for totem-xine ought to get working DVD playback with menus; however, if you're going to install xine-lib then you might as well go the whole hog and install xine-ui or kaffeine, both of which are much better movie players IMHO.

  • Can't play DVDs on secondhand M300? Do I need drivers?

    i know that user:RachelClark has already posted about the same problem, however i would like to know if rachelclark or anybody has figured out, why i cannot play DVDs on my portege M300? do i need drivers? if so where can i get them? any help/advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello
    It is very stupid situation with used notebooks because you dont know what previous user has already done with it. I can also imagine that previous user has watched DVDs with different area codes and the latest one is set as default. If the latest DVD movie was with code 1 (USA and Canada) you can watch DVD movies with this code only.
    If you try to use DVD movies for European market code 2 it will not work anymore. Check drive properties in device manager under DVD Region tab.

  • Can I play DVD on my PC and stream it to Apple TV ?

    We don't usually buy movies online and we're not going to do that in the future. So is it possible to play DVD on my laptop and watch it on my big screen through ATV ?

    There is a way around this. You can "rip" the DVD on your PC and then import the "ripped" movie into iTunes and then you can stream it via ATV2 to your TV.

  • Hallo i have beige g3 desktop with bordaux grfx card but can no play dvd

    i was give a fine g3 with bordaux personalitty card i know because i see in other posts i have this but i cannot see dvd films. i have systam 9 with 640 RAM plz haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalp.

    If you truly have a G3 with a Bordeaux personality card, it uses an on-board hardware decoder. You didn't mention what version of OS 9 you're using, but if it's 9.2.2, you're probably trying to play a DVD using Apple DVD 2.7, and it won't work. Try uninstalling DVD Player 2.7 and associated INITs (Extensions) and installing DVD Player 1.x (I use 1.2, I believe 1.3 works as well.) Keep the previous player and INITs backed up somewhere just in case.
    You can find Apple DVD Player 1.3 on the 9.1 install disc and 8.6 update, IIRC.
    Good luck and let us know.

  • Can't play dvd on hp2000 windows 8.1

    Hi:
    It could be a couple of things...
    1. You need to install the DVD playing software again as a result of the upgrade.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-131397-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    2. As a result of the upgrade, the DVD is not recognized.
    If you do not see a DVD drive listed in 'This Computer,' then a driver error occured during the upgrade.
    Please see the link below and try each of resolution steps 2, 3, 4 and 5.  One of them (normally #3 or #5) will fix the problem.

  • Can iPad play files directly from time machine?

    I want to be able to play my movies and music on my iPad and apple tv without plugging in my laptop and external hard drive. I figured I could load my files on time machine and then play them using iTunes home sharing. Does this work? Any experience would help. Thanks.

    If you want to move your itunes library to the TC we recommend you don't.. the TC is designed as a backup target for Time Machine.. it might appear vaguely like a NAS but it has zero ability to backup files.. and fails with surprising frequency. and is slow.. and what happens when you corrupt your itunes library.
    If you just want to put individual files and play from there.. well neither is it a media player. Basically TC fails at anything and everything except being a TM backup target.
