RE: mplayer - no sound on dvd



Chris, I think I know what is going on.

First, try starting with Chapter 2 of the DVD.

I rented "Royal Tannenbaums" and the sound would only start if I started on
Chapter 2.

Someone who sounded knowledgeable said that commercial DVD authors have lots
of optimization tricks, and srarting the soundtrack after the beginning of
the DVD was one of them.

It was also VERY quiet at that time.  There is an mplayer option to boost
the decibels, but I forget what it is.
