As root, I mounted the DVD on /mnt (when I just put the disk in as prdinary user running gnome, I was told it couldn't mount it), then copied the entire disk as files to my hard drive, then changed the owner and permissions to my my files, with rwx permissions. After that, I could get VLC to play the first mpeg in file., but none of the others. It completely ignored the VR_MANGR.IFO file, which is supposed to contain the menus and index the way mpegs are scattered within the VR_MOVIE.VRO file. I'd be at happy if I could figure out how to split up the VR_MOVIE.VRO file into mpegs, so I could play them separately. Especially if I could also extract the menu information and metadata in the VR_MANGR.IFO file. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
