Good luck with "handbrake". If you aren't using k3b you aren't using what is the best around. Sorry. BC -- Using openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 with KDE 4.10.1 & kernel 3.8.3-1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, That's a stopgap at best. And why should I be able to copy the DVD when I can't play it ? Or should I copy it on a different machine ? No, I hope to be able to play them as they are. But thanks for the suggestion and for the mentioning of a program I didn't know.
