Stéphane Borel 1dea13db35 *Corrected � long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again
now.

This is certainly one of the last updates of the current DVD plugin until
we move to libdvdread that will give us navigation ES.

README for vlc, the VideoLAN Client


Introduction
============

The vlc is part of the VideoLAN project, a full MPEG2 client/server
solution. The VideoLAN Client can also be used as a standalone program
to play MPEG2 streams from a hard disk or a DVD.


Building, Installing and Running VideoLAN
=========================================

See the INSTALL file for this.


Troubleshooting
===============

A mailing-list has been set up for support and discussion about the
vlc. Its address is :

   <vlc@videolan.org>

To subscribe, send a mail to <listar@videolan.org> with the following
words in the mail body :

   subscribe vlc

To unsubscribe, do the same with the words :

   unsubscribe vlc


When reporting bugs, try to be as precise as possible (which OS, which
distribution, what plugins you were trying, and so on).


Resources
=========

The VideoLAN web site at http://www.videolan.org/ is a good start for
information about MPEG and DVD playing. Have a look at the documentation
section, as well as the bookmarks.

You can also try the OpenDVD site at http://www.opendvd.org/ or the
the LiViD project at http://www.linuxvideo.org/. They have lots of
information, too.
