Picked up a few DVDs at Half Price Books and want to rip them to my system. I am using Arch linux (Artix) with external DVD drive from Dell. Put in DVD, system recognizes it, file manager can see everything. But Handbrake is failing to rip. Then try to copy files from DVD to PC, that fails also. "Failure to read file" or something like that. Try to play in VLC and doesn't work, you can just hear the disc trying to read over and over. DVDs are in perfect shape. Try a different DVD, same thing. Try a DVD from a different tv show, same thing.
Did some searching then installed this
libdvdcss
After that now everything works fine. And in File Manager thumbnail previews show up for DVD files now. Can play them in VLC just fine.
