Open VCD Using VLC on Ubuntu

March 29, 2008 |


If you have installed VLC player. To open a vcd you may type in the terminal:

/usr/bin/vlc vcd://

As you close the terminal, VLC also closes. So how to close the terminal without closing VLC? Well, I can’t figure out how to close the terminal without closing VLC, but there are alternative approaches:

There are two alternative ways:

a. One way is to press Alt+F2, in the prompted box, enter the command we mentioned earlier:

/usr/bin/vlc vcd://

b. Another way is that you can open vcd directly through vlc. Under the ‘Disc’ tag view, under ‘Advanced Options’, just changed the value from vcdx to vcd2. See the screenshot below:

    Hey thanks a lot man. Changing the VCDX to VCD2 made my VCDs work! I’m really grateful towards your contribution.
