wasn't all in vain, I've just spent a few seconds modifying my
Window-Eyes settings for VLC and undefining all those WE Hotkeys
that VLC uses, that's something I should have done long ago so this
thread has inspired me to act.

Your original message was:
Friends, I can't make heads or tails of this thing.
can someone tell me how to get....for example form one
episode to another?
I even tried pressing the n as in nancy key....it stops.
Can someone help, if you don't mind, please?
You have wasted a lot of time going off on tangents. I strongly recommend
that you read the following and make sure that
you understand what you are being told.
Put your DVD in the drive.
Start VLC player.
Use Control+D to bring up the disk dialogue.
Tab through this dialogue and make sure that the DVD appears in the field
that indicates the disk that will be opened. If
your target DVD is not in that field because you have more than one DVD
drive then use the browse button to move to the
correct drive.
Once you have verified that you have the correct disk selected, use the
shift+tab button to go back to the play button.
Press space on the play button and after 10 to 30 seconds (depending on the
preference of the DVD manufacturer), the DVD
will begin to play.
To play or pause the DVD use the space bar.
Use P only if you want to start playback from the very beginning.
The playback menu can be reached by Alt+L .
In the playback menu you will find:
Title - which will tell you the length of the titles on the DVD
Chapter - which tells you about the chapters of the selected title
Program which will probably show as being unavailable
Speed
Custom bookmarks
Jump forward (see the keyboard shortcuts below)
Jump backward See below
Jump to specific time see below
Previous title
Next title
Previous Chapter
Next Chapter
Play
Stop
Previous
Next
Record
So, to do what you say you want to do in your original message, press space
to make sure your DVD is playing, press space
again to pause playback then use Alt+l to go to the playback menu then go
down to the next title and press enter. Wait for
a few seconds for the program to adjust and then press space to resume
playback.
The following shortcut keys can be used rather than the jump item in the
playback menu:
Shift+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Very short jump (3 seconds)
Alt+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Short jump (10 seconds)
Ctrl+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Medium jump (1 minute)
Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Long jump
When you are finished, control+q will close VLC.
Do not use the X or N keys in VLC or you will have unexpected consequences.
There is no need for you to use the "pass next key" function of your screen
reader for any command in VLC.
