(I know this isn't VLC player forum, but I couldn't think another place to post my woes, since one topic that posted about same issue was unanswered in VLC forum.. So here goes a try.)
I decided to try if this system(age-old Sony Vaio, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) could play DVD:s, and no...
I managed to download some packages so the hurdle of DVD country region encoding error was cleared. (with help of https://itsfoss.com/play-dvd-ubuntu-1310/)
However, VLC gives following error when I try play DVD:

If someone can read the code... What's wrong with my VLC player? Or.. Are my DVD:s damaged for good? They've been stored in cupboard for last five years or so.
