使用C＃播放DVD

Question

I have a dvd copied in my hard drive. It has a folder called video_ts. I am planning to run VLC player to play it. i was wondering how can I play this dvd using c#. I do not want to use a activex control inside c#. All I need to do is run the vlc.exe using process. I have already done that. But how do I select a specific file from the code that will start playig in the vlc player. My code is.

System.Diagnostics.Process Proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
Proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe";
 Proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"C:\Test\Legacy\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.BUP";
 Proc.Start();

I am trying to send the file name as a argument to run it in the vlc.exe . But its not working. Its just opening up the vlc player. I dont want the user to select the file manually.

From here it seems as if your syntax for the file location needs to be in the form of file://, but I'm not sure. Also try using a relative path and see if that works.

I've never done this before myself, so I'm going by what I've just Googled. To start, it looks like you're using the wrong file as your argument. Check out this page for a description of video_ts contents and what they all mean.

Beyond that, take a look at http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html , which describes command-line parameters for VLC. It may be that you have to provide just the path to the video_ts folder instead of to an individual file within it.
