I haven't tried the newest SVN yet, but I can say that the DVDs only have 1 track on them.  I have

tried it with and without the -alang en option.  It's very weird.  Of course, I don't have a regular

DVD player at all, so I can't check them that way at the moement.  I've tried some other audio options that

I found by googling, but nothing.   I can't even run mencoder on it to try to copy the audio and video out.

It starts and then stops.  Here's the mencoder output using 1.0pretry2-3.3.4(I am upgrading the server to a

newer version of my distro, and haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but this version works fine)





server:/files2 # mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device 2towerscartoon.iso -oac copy -ovc copy -o test.avi

It's almost like there is only 1 frame on the entire disk.  It's weird, because there are really old DVDs.

I normally only have issues with very new releases from certain companies....
