	Ah, super idea!

	But I can shorten it a bit.   Since I can run 'mplayer ... -chapter 2-6'
	I could simply do:

	mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile c2-6.vob -dvd 1 -chapter 2-6
	mencoder c2-6.vob -ovc lavc ...

	Damn - I forgot to put the DVD in the drive this morning, testing will
	have to wait till this evening.

	Thanks for the big clue!

	Cheers,
	Steven Schultz
