Interesting issue. First, is there a mtg. Thursday and where?

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.

I would consider running VLC or mplayer in a terminal to open the DVD. Try:

$ cd /media

run ls  as below and your username should be shown:

/media$ ls
"myusername"

then:

$ cd "myusername"

then to see what's in /media/yourusername run ls command again:

/media/"myusername"$ ls
FIRE_GIRL

then:

$ vlc FIRE_GIRL

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.

Good luck!

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.

Have played the DVD in part three tries out of perhaps ten tries no go
at times seem to override error message?

Have been using open disc ,open files and open DVD alternately the later
where the error message manafests, I then somehow have stumbled upon the
three file .avi choices. choose one click on to play, Where I found the
files is a bit hazy?

Any thoughts on an unraveling strategy? Thanks, Anthony
