Hi, I'm trying to dump a dvd soundtrack with: mplayer dvd://1 -alang en -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -aofile audio.wav I thought this worked for me before but mplayer exits with: demux: File doesn't contain the selected audio or video stream. If I play the dvd with `mplayer dvd://1`, it plays back fine. Am I doing something really stupid? :( Thanks for any help, Michael Here are all the messages attached: $ mplayer -v dvd://1 -alang en -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -aofile audio.wav MPlayer 1.0pre3-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon MP/XP Thoroughbred 2005 MHz (Family: 6, Stepping: 1) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx SSE Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory Reading config file /home/msh/.mplayer/config Reading /home/msh/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/home/msh/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Using built-in default codecs.conf.
