In reality, my accumulated backlog of computer things I *want* to do covers about 2 years of my time. One of those things is backing up my DVDs and (possibly) streaming them to my TV and hifi. Another is editing and transcoding the short video clips I took last year. For playing the backups and clips on my desktop PCs, vlc (as a wrapper for ffmpeg, like ffplay but with controls to pause and move forward or back) is perfectly adequate. So, I can live with not being able to play the VOB files in vlc.
For ripping the VOB files, tccat [ transcode ] does the job. So, if there is not a simple answer, I can't justify spending time on this. Yes, the libdvd packages are used, so maybe that's where things are going awry. But nobody else is apparently reporting this, so it's probably some weirdness in *how* I build something in the stack. So, thanks for the encouragement, but no. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
