[MPlayer-users] DVD PLayback with -ss option

[A. Campling]

Hi,
I've been trying to use -ss option to playback a DVD using the -ss flag to 
start the playback at some point other than the start of title 1, chapter 
1. For instance:
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -ss 40:00
When I do this, it takes me to the time on the disc marked 58:57.

For various other time settings, I get the same problem - never to where I 
request, always some point forward from that.  I looked at all the numbers 
at it appears to be a linear relationship of 1.5x what I request - but 
never exactly that, more like 1.5 give or take a minute or so here and 
there.
I've verified that the times mplayer reports are correct on a component 
player, so it's not the the OSD is wrong.

Is this a known issue?  anyone know how to correct this?

System info: AMD AthlonXP 1600+, 512mb pc2300 DDR, Generic-flavor combo 
IDE/ATAPI cd/dvd drive.  Mplayer 0.90 (as well as 0.90pre5 before 
upgrading to see if that would fix it) compiled with gcc-3.2.2-5.  Tired 
with default settins (ie line above) along with various -vfm and -vo 
options.  Am  missing something?

Any other info you need, I'm more than happy to give.  Any help is much 
appreciated.  Thank you!
