I do use mpv to play ~ all my video files, but I also wrote the following in 
January of *2022* (in ~/docs/Multimedia.md):

Apparently you can dump the video files belonging to one episode using VLC, but 
that was rather cumbersome and it wasn't very clear to me what it did or what 
I should do.  
Luckily, ``mplayer`` is (still) packaged for Debian and with that, one can 
dump a whole episode into a single VOB file:  
``$ mplayer dvd://2 -dvd-device ALIAS_SEASON_1D1.iso -v -dumpstream -dumpfile 
S01E02.vob``  
The value after ``dvd://`` is the Title number that ``lsdvd`` showed us 
earlier.


So I'm glad that several people indicated they wanted to improve mplayer in 
Debian and I'll try to 'chip in' when I have some free time.

Cheers,
  Diederik
