Direct blu-ray playback with VLC

Post by Art-of-Escape »

Hi all,

I find the direct playback function with VLC very useful for my blu-ray disks, but I'd like to know if it's possible to play titles other than the main title with this option (e.g. special features)? If so, how can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi Art-of-Escape,
you probably found this out in the meantime, but just in case someone else got the same problem: The menu entry you're looking for is 'Playback > Title' which gives you access to the various streams on the Blu-ray. It also lists each track's length, giving you a rough guess at what you're selecting (a featurette, a trailer etc.).

That list lets you choose any "movie" but no other format such as slide shows or text-based information. Sometimes a supposed slide show is actually formatted as motion video (e.g. on the Koch Media label); these will of course play fine.
