It is possible that the first track of the dvd record is not the main movie, but some trailer or other stuff since they put alot of that crap onto the dvd's nowadays. If thats the case you can play the other tracks by changing the number after the -dvd option. You can also start playing at diffrent chapters in the dvd track by using the -chapter option. Oh and btw, the /dev/dvd file needs to be a link pointing to the proper dvd device, I think you said it was /dev/scd0 in another mail? And make sure you have the proper permissions to read from that device. Johbe -- Fry: I refuse to testify on the grounds that my organs will be chopped up into a patty.
