Hi, I don't have a dvd player, but occasionally African Enterprise sends me short DVDs of their work. Usually they are short enough that I can just copy the contents onto a CD at work and bring it home to watch using *some move player*. The last one was made up of 5 VOB files, that I had to play one at a time and they would stop at inopportune moments and I'd have to load up the next one.... not that great... so I end up going with something like this: $ mplayer /media/cdrecorder/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB $ mplayer /media/cdrecorder/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB etc... if I try to run totem-xine, I get this: $ totem file:///media/cdrecorder/ libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1.0.1 from http://xine.sf.net libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. libdvdread: Attempting to use device /dev/hdc mounted on /media/cdrecorder for CSS authentication libdvdnav: Can't read name block.

There is no plugin to handle this movie. I read this as totem is trying to access it as a UDF filesystem - but obviously it's not - it's iso9660 - so it fails. :( Any suggestions on how to play this properly? cheers dc -- David Purton dcpurton@chariot.net.au For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a
