You say you have multiple ISO files you could try it out on. Try another ISO from the command line with mplayer calling it like you would an AVI or MPG file. I know xine can read and play directly from ISO files because I've used df_xine a few times like this, but only on rare occasions and only from the command line. RE: DVD Menu playback: mplayer doesn't have the code required to parse the IFO files and let you select things in the menus, but the menus themselves are just MPEG-2 VOB files. Basically the "buttons" etc, on the menus are described in the IFO files that accompany the VOBs. As far as I can tell mplayer usually automatically plays the longest stream it finds in a DVD/ISO. You might have better luck specifying what title mplaer should play on that particular DVD you are having problems with. Try something along these lines: mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device ./img.iso where img.iso is the filename of your ISO image. The "1" in dvd://1 tells mplayer to play title 1, which most main movies are on a DVD. Even if they don't play first, they are labeled "1". Good Luck, Shawn -- Want free stuff?
