I'm having some trouble with dvdnav:// If I try to pull a dvd to disk with 'mplayer dvdnav:// -dumpstream -dumpfile', the resulting file has no subtitles in it. If I switch dvdnav:// vor dvd://, it works fine, but dvd:// has some problems with certain dvds. If I just watch the dvd with dvdnav://, subtitles work just fine. Do you guys have any clue why this is happening? I just can't figure this out.

I've never noticed that dumpstream would pull in subtitles. I typically always use this in a loop: mencoder \ -chapter $chapters \ -nocache \ -dvd-device $dvd \ -vobsubout $track.$chapters.vob \ -vobsuboutindex $count \ -sid $index \ -oac copy \ -ovc copy \ -o /dev/null dvd://$track Note that I use dvd: there instead of dvdnav. For MOST DVD's that I've seen, that will work for pulling subtitles, even for ones that need dvdnav: for video. For those handful that need to use dvdnav: here, be sure to check the resulting .idx file. Mencoder always ends up using xx: instead of the real lang (en:, es:, fr:) of the track, so I have to manually edit the .idx file (which is why I typically use dvd: unless there is a problem). mrc
