VLC: How to access a DVD menu?

Good evening,

Sorry for the question, which has probably already been asked, but I have done several searches, gone through dozens of pages without finding an answer to my question...

How can I access the menu of a DVD using VLC software? I have tried several DVDs with VLC, but every time the program starts without me ever accessing the menu. I have looked through plenty of options, but I didn’t see anything... Yet I know it’s possible; it worked when I had Windows (now I'm on Linux-Mandriva).

So if someone can help me... thanks in advance! :) And have a good start to the week, everyone.

    Good evening

    I think it's like KM Player, you need to right-click on the screen to access certain menu

    See you+

    Hi,
    Actually, I might not have expressed myself well. When I right-click, I get options, but just to access the Chapters/Titles... I want the menu as you see it when you put the DVD in a DVD player connected to the TV... (you know, with a picture of the movie in the background, the sub-menus for Audio, Bonus, etc...)

    (by the way, to clarify: there’s a button in VLC that says Menu when I hover over it, but when I click on it, it takes me back to the beginning of the DVD instead of a real menu)

    It's still strange, it must be something really simple... I haven't stopped going through all the VLC options since yesterday but still nothing... damn...

    Hi,

    I had the same problem, but I have the solution ;)

    You just need to install the vlc-plugin-dvdnav package!

    I was also surprised to find out that Mandriva made a separate package for that O_o

    Good luck ;)
