I got 164 jpg files that look very corrupted. A few of them had *just* enuf detail that I could tell that it was the 7 second opening advert for 20th Century Fox. And the aspect had been changed. It was NOT a widescreen output.

The aspect change is kind of expected, DVDs are stored with rectangular
pixels.

I don't follow the logic of this. I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. The DVD has both full screen and wide screen versions. One side is full screen. The side I'm trying to rip is wide screen. Totem plays it just fine, but as far as I know, totem cannot dump the frames to individual jpg files. Mplayer dumped them, but corrupted them, and changed them to something resembling full screen mode.


It almost sounds like what one would get if the DVD decryption wasn't
working right.

Can 'mplayer' show you the movie?

Like I said before, whether I tell mplayer to dump each frame to individual jpg files, or just show me the movie (actually only tested the 7 second advert for 20th Century Fox at the beginning), either way it shows a very corrupted image. Also like I said before, I'd be happy to send a frame or two so you can see it for yourself. The average size of the jpg files is about 100K. Only 20 to 30 of the jpg files (of the 164) clearly show enuf of the 20th Century Fox advert. But even those clearly show the ~corruption~ of which I speak.
