Actually I found that gimp can read ppm files .. so you can take a peek
.. play with them if need be and then save them to png's for instance.

Is there any way I can have mplayer read a particular time sequence
into a DVD - such as from +10:27 to +11:33, e.g. ..?

Is there any way I can have mplayer write one frame in ten?

Is there any way I can dump frames on the fly while watching a DVD?

Yes, I know what you're going to say .. but then it's memorial day
week-end over here and I feel a little lazy today to read the famous
manual.

Have a heart.

Thanks,
