First, I'm not sure how to tell mplayer to play the movie. Currently, I'm just telling mplayer "Go play that VOB file over there on that movie DVD".
Ahh, that's why you're getting corrupted images. The VOB files are encrypted.
I just now tried the next larger VOB file on the same movie DVD which turns out to be the initial menu where you select play, languages, and the like. The images are even *more* corrupted on this except for like the last frame _*just*_ before the display window disappears. That last frame seemed fairly clear. I cannot be certain since it was only up for a moment. I'm starting mplayer from a command line. And the playing of *this* VOB had other messages and suggested the -ni switch, but that made no difference. Here's a sampling of the errors I got this time:
You need to say something like: mplayer -dvd-device /dev/dvd dvd://1 to play title '1'. Dave -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
