[MPlayer-users] DVD Vob files

[Friðrik Ásmundsson]

Hi,

This question is related to the DvD standard and how the physical VOB
files map to the Titles inside the DvD.

For example I have the DvD "Hot Shots" and when I mount it I see VOB
files for Titles 1 through 6. However Mplayer tells me the DvD has 13
titles!  I have seen this also in very many other DvDs (more Titles
than VOB files).

I always thought according to the DvD standard, that for each title in
the DvD, a VOB file must exists for it, example: VTS_<TITLE>_XX.VOB.

This means there must be some VOB files that have multiple Titles inside.

So the question is:

Is there any way for me to ask Mplayer in what VOB files a given Title is in?
