Subject: [Hampshire] VLC on Ubuntu not playing some DVD VRs
Hi all

This might sound like an old chestnut but I'm fed up of googling because it
is qutie "subtle"....

I have some home-recorded DVDs (converted to ISO) which won't play on VLC
on Ubuntu (Jammy). VLC opens and crashes immediately. The trouble is:
* The same files play fine on VLC on both Mac and Windows
* Some other home-made DVD ISOs play fine on Jammy. It may be that I
recorded the working ones with one DVD recorder and the non-working ones
with another DVD recorder. Come what may - both Mac and Windows will play
all of them.

I've run vlc from the command line and I get the error below. It looks
like it's something to do with a locale. FWIW I've changed the output
between wayland on gnome and X11 - but neither works. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers
Rob

This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
