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?

Definitely something is wrong with your VLC (probably an older version)
since I can play US DVDs with VLC . In my understanding DVD standards in
US a lose because of proprietary **** so you might have been just
unlucky to pick the one with really strange coding.
I would strongly suggest you try MPlayer (if everything fails to play
some format usually MPlayer works). I am also able to play DVDs with gxine.
I was able to play DVDs in the past with Kaffeine when I run PC-BSD for
a short period of time. Since, I run Gnome I didn't bother to install
Kaffeine.
I am NOT able to play DVDs with Movie Player from Gnome and I have not
really tried XMPS although I have the application on my computer.
I hope this helps
