Hi, I am attempting to rip a single chapter from a DVD using the following syntax: $ mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 20-20 -dumpstream -dumpfile matrix.vob While the rip starts at chapter 20 it continues on to the end of the movie. I note the same effect with -chapter 20-21 and variations of this. Is the -<endchapter ID> option broken at the moment or am I using it incorrectly? I include below a sample of the rip process until I terminate it with Ctrl-C.
