DVD Playback doesn't work for DVDs created by standalone VCR/DVD Player
Please download a DVD torrent from zomb (it does require registration):

I can seed this if you send me an email request.
This looks like it was created by using a standalone VCR/DVD machine to copy from VHS to DVD.
When you click on the menu item to start playing, it only lasts approx 30 seconds before VLC freezes up. The buffer indicator in the bottom right gets stuck in a loop.
When I use PowerDVD on Windows, it plays the DVD with no problems.
