                                ^^^^^^ Joerg, I thought you knew the meaning
                                       of this command line agument.
                                       I'm reasonably sure about it ;-)

I agree that if you're not the autor he should ask for support to the
person "responsible" for this fork.
But (and this is the second time I ask you about this, the first time
you ignored me and I hope you just didn't notice me) can you explain me
how is dvdrtools violating GPL? how is it illegal?
As far as I know GPL allows you to redistribute GPL code as long as
you keep it GPL. AFAIK again dvdrtool is distributed as GPL.
now: where is the so called violation?

thanks for answering my questions this time,
sergio
