well it would be silly if mplayer could show the ENTIRE dvd if desired, 
and not just the current track. that's why I wrote lsdvd to go with me 
mencoder front end http://acidrip.sf.net There's a new frontend, 
gmencoder, which does use -identify directly, and it takes absolutely 
bloody ages.... and still can't really provide a suitable amount of 
information. If mplayer could provide something as useful as that then i'd 
probably drop my own app in a second, even if it does output directly to 
a perl hash if desired... ;-)
