To play the VCD, you need to do this --
$ mplayer vcd://1 (1 is the track number, try 2, 3 4 for the next ones)

If it's a DVD, then try dvd://1 and so on.

> Then when I try to copy i get the following message
> 
> Error "I/O error" while copying /media/dvdrecorder/mpegav/avseq01.dat

Copying the so-called .DAT file won't work as it's not a real file. Read
the following doc for more info on this --
