Hello Jonathan, thanks for the reply. I managed to get sound working
after I downloaded all the Docs and read them. I simply added -ao oss to
the command line. I tried to add it to my ~./mplayer/config file using
pico but ended up with an error, segmentation fault or something if I
remember correctly, so deleted it and renamed the original back to
config.
As far as the problem I have with mplayer not playing the whole dvd is I
believe something I am doing wrong. I have attached the output of ls-la
inline below. Also, mplayer reports the following when beginning to play
the dvd
There are 77 titles on this DVD.
There are 26 chapters in this DVD title.
There are 1 angles in this DVD.
Does this mean that I have to get mplayer to play each title
individually? I am hoping there may be some way to tell mplayer to play
1 through to 77 by a command line switch.
Output of ls -la follows:

If I use '1' as the DVD title it plays through to the menu and then
aborts with a message saying it cannot find <dir where I happen to be>dvd 1.
If I use '2' as the title it plays through for a bit and then aborts and
comes up with the same error except the title is now 2.
Any ideas?
Many thanks again for your patience and help.
