Howdy all,
New guy here, looking for some help (yeah, what’s new?). I’ve been running XBMC center on my home-brew HTPC since last spring, and loving it. So far, I’ve not had a hint of a problem with it . . . until now. I’ve found a DVD that won’t play, and I’d love some help figuring out why and how to fix it (if I can).
Long story short, my toddler just got a new Mickey Mouse’s Clubhouse DVD. I have my system set up to automatically run XBMC when a DVD is inserted in the drive, which it does. The DVD menu plays perfectly. When I select the “Play All” option, though, everything goes to hell in a handbasket. The screen goes black, and all I get is audio. The audio seems to be playing at the correct speed (from I can tell), but I have no video at all. In Debug mode, the counter shows 9 or so fps (ridiculously slow), but I’m seeing . . .0 fps. Blackness.
All of the other DVDs I have played in this machine work as they should. XBMC starts, I click “Play Disc”, and the video runs. No problems. So, would somebody more knowledgeable than me (which shouldn’t be hard) tell me why this DVD is different? I should note that the DVD plays properly using Windows Media Player, so it isn't a matter of some copy protection scheme making it unplayable in a Windows environment.

The DVD has the usual “Audio_TS” and “Video_TS” folders. The Audio_TS is empty, and the Video_TS folder contains a number of VOB files. I’ve included a MediaInfo file of the first large VOB (VTS_01_1.VOB). If I need MediaInfo on a different file, let me know and I’ll post it.
