    No image when playing DVD [with vlc]

    Kubuntu 14.10 64 bits (installed from the scrtach)

    I already installed libdvdnav, libdvdread, libdvdcss (firstly download .deb from the ubuntu repository and after using the install-libcss script (after purging the frist one)), ubuntu-restricted-extras and kubuntu-restricted-extras.
    The region is properly set and the region of the media is compatible with it.
    Also, the media is playing well in Windows 8 in the same computer.

    The problem: when I open the media on VLC, the sound is OK but there is no image (just a black rectangule).

    I have no clue about what to do now. Any suggestion?

    Questions ?

    Is the VLC playing non DVD media without problems ?

    What is the output if you try to launch the VLC & DVD from the konsole

    A command:
    Code:
    vlc dvd://
    man vlc:

    VLC(1) General Commands Manual VLC(1)

    NAME
    vlc, qvlc, svlc, nvlc, rvlc, cvlc - the VLC media player

    SYNOPSIS
    vlc [OPTIONS] [ITEMS]...

    DESCRIPTION
    This manual page documents briefly the VLC multimedia player and server.

    OPTIONS
    VLC follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). For a pre‐
    cise description of options, please use "vlc --help".

    The complete list of VLC options depends on what plugins are installed because they automatically add their
    own options. Please use "vlc --longhelp --advanced" for a complete list of available options.

    ITEMS
    VLC recognizes several URL-style items:

    *.mpg, *.vob, *.avi, *.mp3, *.ogg, *.opus
    Various multimedia file formats

    dvd://[<device>][@<raw device>][#[<title>][:[<chapter>][:<angle>]]]
    DVD device (for instance dvd:///dev/dvd). The raw device is optional and must have been prepared
    beforehand.


    Any error messages ?

    What Video output settings are you using ?



    Have you tried other output options ?
    XVideo ?
    OpenGL ?
    ...?

    What kind of hardware do you have ?

    Video drivers ?

    Example - at here:

    Code:
    :~$ inxi -G
    Graphics:  Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Barts PRO [Radeon HD 6850]
               Display Server: X.Org 1.16.0 driver: fglrx Resolution: 1920x1080@60.0hz

      Thank you ROG132!

      I was using "automatic" as OUTPUT and everything orked when I changed to "Xvideo".
      I dont know the reason, but worked.

      Just to cmplete the information here: I have a Asus All-in-One with a Nvidia Graphic Card (Geforce GT 720).

        New question: vlc are not playing any subtitle (neither from the dvd itself or from a external file).

        Any ideas?

        SOLVED: just changed the video output to X11
