You can't concatenate MPEG files that way. > Is there a way to copy single chapters from the DVD? > I tried "vobcopy" but that also seems to copy everything to one big file. Did you try dvdunauthor? It's a little-known complement to dvdauthor. There's no manpage, but "dvdunauthor /path/to/mounted/DVD" should do the trick, as far as I remember. I'm not sure but vobcopy may correct the timestamps when it glues the VOB files together. Unless you use -m, of course. > Or would it be better to modify dvbcut?

That's something an improved index could handle. Currently, dvbcut can't process such a file correctly. > PS: ccache works with your approach, but gives only little improvement > (2:20min instead of 3min)... better than nothing! ;-) As I said - it obviously doesn't cache everything. Once I know why, I will try to find a workaround. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
