The VLC player cannot play a DVD disk on my computer. Whenever I click the menu "Media > Open disk…" from the player or "Play with VLC media player" from the context menu, the error prompt "Cannot play a non-UDF mastered DVD" is shown as below:
I tried KMPlayer and it had no problem of playing. I have installed libdvdcss-1.4.2.tar.bz2
and libdvdnav-6.0.0.tar.bz2
as per the instruction of this article via the Ubuntu shell on Windows 10 by entering these commands:
./configure
make
make install
but I'm not sure if the libs got installed correctly because the same error recurred after restarting VLC. I tried to Google the problem as well as searching the forum and here on this site and didn't find any related discussion. I don't want to convert the DVD to formats other than an ISO image because I want to preserve the DVD control while viewing the videos in it. I did make an ISO image out of the DVD disk with ImgBurn, and it's the same problem with the image when played with VLC.

The standard disc format that preceded UDF is called ISO-9660, which is probably the recording format of your disc.
Unfortunately, it seems like VLC cannot do it.
In the videolan wiki What can VLC do?, I found this comment :
You are then obliged to use another player that supports that old format.
