Hello,

I'm running VLC 0.8.5 on FreeBSD 6.2.

I was under the impression that VLC ignored region-encoding when
playing DVDs, but this is apparently not the case on my BSD box.

Most of the American DVDs I try to play gets a region encoding error
and quits. I have no problems with foreign DVDs (from other
countries).

Is this standard behavior for VLC on BSD or am I doing something wrong?
