[MPlayer-users] -dumpstream ends with "core dumped :)"

Hi,

it is not corrupt file.

filanlizes? closes? heh?
it is not a such media file. it's a stream, with no start and not end, just
fragments.

the -dumpstream code don't even know abut audio video etc inside, it just
copy from VOB to HDD the raw sectors!

if you do -chapter 1-1 and then -chapter 2-2 and then append the resulting
files you'll get teh same if you do -chapter 1-2
