This should work, but it's probably better if you dump part of your
dvd into a file according to this entry of the faq:
http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html#id2887791

You probably want to restrain the lenght of the dump with the
"-frames" (300 should be more than enough) option and jump to a more
relevant part of the movie with "-ss".
Now I just hope that this works when used with "-dumpstream"
