Unfortunately, I have met a problem. The DVD in question was of a television broadcast and made using Mythtv. Vobcopy produced a number of files including three of the actual broadcast. One file appeared to be of the whole broadcast and two files of parts of the broadcast. The two part broadcast files were readable using Avidemux but the one of the entire broadcast was not. The screen consisted of a large number of horizontal, coloured lines. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I've never seen anything like that, sadly. I would have thought, perhaps, that you're missing libdvdcss, but in that case you're not going to get anything at all (or at least that's what would make sense). <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> -- Michael T.
