Hi all, As a few suggested, especially Sunny with full details, I compiled dvdbackup for linux 9.1. As a test, tried 2 dvd's. One worked fine, the second had problems. It looks like it gets confused with titles or something! ~/dvdbackup/src # ./dvdbackup -F -i /dev/dvdrecorder -o /home/plain/blackorpheus/blackorpheus libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access libdvdread: Attempting to retrieve all CSS keys libdvdread: This can take a _long_ time, please be patient libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB at 0x00000121 libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB at 0x0000015c libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Get key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB at 0x00005486 libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 libdvdread: Found 1 VTS's libdvdread: Elapsed time 0 Floating point exception Any ideas? Anyway, fyi, I mounted the dvd with konqueror and copied all the files to a directory. Then I tried to open the individual .vob files with mplayer and they...Played!!!! But the bup and _ts files are not readable! Is that supposed to happen? thanks, d.
