Thanks for the suggestions. This will work in about 95% of the cases, but there are certain dvd's which require special options (like -aid 128). But specifying -aid 128 for all dvd's cause most of them to not play in dolby digital, even though I also specify ac=hwac3. So I need to specify separate options on a per-movie basis. I suppose I could make the script smart enough to supply different arguments based upon the filename. Perhaps I'll try that.
