<p>Interesting issue. First, is there a mtg. Thursday and where?</p>
<p>OK, a little strange since a DVD is not an .avi. It would be an mp4 or just the image on your desktop of the DVD. I can't imagine where 3 .avi's came from if they didn't exist before. You would generally need to reformat a DVD to create an .avi which is generally a much smaller file size.</p>
<p>I would consider running VLC or mplayer in a terminal to open the DVD. Try:</p>
<p>$ cd /media</p>
<p>run ls as below and your username should be shown:</p>
<p>/media$ ls<br/>
"myusername"</p>
<p>then:</p>
<p>$ cd "myusername"</p>
<p>then to see what's in /media/yourusername run ls command again:</p>
<p>/media/"myusername"$ ls<br/>
FIRE_GIRL<br/>
</p>
<p>then:</p>
<p>$ vlc FIRE_GIRL</p>
<p>and the DVD should play. If not you'll be able to see the errors in the terminal which will give you info that will help.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<div>A., why not "play disk" from vlc menu? I'll try a screenshot later. Also, is the disk commercial or user made? Was it made free and cross platform or designed to only run with certain software? Just some thoughts. Ted P.</div>
