A

Q

Does VLC support DVDs from all regions?

A

This mostly depends on your DVD drive.
Testing it is usually the quickest way to find out. The problem is that a lot of newer drives are RPC2 drives these days. Some of these drives don't allow raw access to the drive until the drive firmware has done a region check. VLC uses libdvdcss and it needs raw access to the DVD drive to crack the encryption key. So with those drives, it is impossible to circumvent the region protection. (This goes for all software. You will need to flash your drive's firmware, but sometimes there is no alternate firmware available for your drive). On other RPC2 drives that do allow raw access, it might take VLC a long time to crack the key. So just pop the disc in your drive and try it out, while you get a coffee. RPC1 drives should 'always' work regardless of the region code.

Q

What is VideoLAN? What is the VideoLAN Team?

A

VideoLAN is a non-profit organization, that produces and distributes free and open source software for video and multimedia purpose, released under Open Source licenses.

It started as a student project at the French École Centrale Paris but is now a worldwide project with developers from everywhere and dozens of millions of people using VideoLAN's software.
