Instead of copying it, have you tried dumping the stream with mplayer? Charles -- "The world is beating a path to our door" -- Bruce Perens, (Open Sources, 1999 O'Reilly and Associates)

It is very easy to do, first find the starting point of the movie by playing the dvd with: ,---- | mplayer dvd://1 `---- Most likely track 1 is the movie. If it is not, increase the number until you find it. Now run: ,---- | mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile <file_name> dvd://1 `---- Substitute the number 1 if it is not the right track.

Hi . I have just tried that here with the Star Wars VI DVD and found content that does not show up anywhere else not in a full commercial DVD player or with Kaffeine or Xine most strange have to check the rest of the collection out see what else is hiding .. # Pete . -- SuSE Linux 10.3-Alpha3.

Ha ha :-). One more thing I want to add, if you encounter a dvd that can't be dumped with dvd://, you can try dvdnav:// (some dvd need that). However, you will need a mplayer linked to a recent copy of dvdnav- the Packman version has that.

'Doesn't work on all DVDs. This particular odd-ball from Disney is STILL a "no go." Using mplayer doesn't get the beginning nor the end of the movie. :( Fred -- I call several liberals friends.
