Re: dvd film and K3b

I did a dvd film backup using K3b dvd data option resulting now in dvd
I'm not able to play using common dvd player such mplayer or xine. I
tried vobcopy without succes.
I'm running Debian Sarge amd64 unofficial port however I don't think
that problem it's platform related.
Is there a way to play that dvd film? I tried to play using m$ windows
apps (don't remember which) and that works g.
First question: does it play on a standalone DVD-player?
I have a TV-recorder which used DVD+RW and DVD+R discs, and I have discovered
that it is possible to copy a keeper recording from +RW to +R just using
K3B to generate an ISO image. The resulting disc plays fine in my recorder
and in standalone DVD-players. I have noticed that play-only machines have
trouble with +R discs from my recorder that are not yet finalised, but K3B
seems to finalise the +R. I guess that because +RW is rewritable, it can
finalise after every programme, then just un-finalise the disc when it is
time for the next recording.
One amusing thing is that when the recorder is playing a +RW disc and stopped
mid-programme, not at the menu, then it will record the title, chapter and
frame somewhere on the disc so you can resume playback from the same point --
e.g., if you swap discs to record something else then put back the one you
were watching, the moment you hit PLAY it will start again from that point.
Copying the +RW onto a +R copies absolutely everything. So I have a few
discs that never start at the beginning, and need to be stopped and
restarted, simply because I did not realise what was happening!
Another thing I noticed is that the files on the DVD+RW do not seem to
correspond in any way with programmes recorded. For example, on a disc with
all six episodes of BlackAdder II, I find only five files; and when I try
to view them individually, the starting points are not the starts of the
individual episodes.
So I can't find any obvious way to separate recorded programmes. I could get
around this is by just recording from my portable DVD-player to the recorder
using the AV-cables, but of course this is lossy {as the information is being
compressed twice} and it takes just as long as it would take to watch the
programme.
I am sure there must be a way to extract just one programme from a DVD+RW and
burn it to another disc, so that I can keep episodes of the same series
together on the same disc, in order {maybe with the advertisements omitted
into the bargain; though my recorder has the ability to add chapter markers
anywhere, so I just need to place one at the end of each advert-break before
copying, then hit next chapter to skip the adverts}. Has anyone any
suggestions?

Splitting those few K of libs out into seperate debs just so your /emul stays empty is probably more work and waste then saved. fakeroot absolutely needs the 32bit wraper libs so packages with 32bit code still compile. Or do you want to give up lilo and grub and be unable to boot in the future? Again, splitting the few K out into a fakeroot32 is just unreasonable.

The only exception might be a rootkit, but that is somewhat out of character of a root kit, as they usually want to control the local machine, and not modify itself to change how a dvd burn works.
