 Thanks for the tip about +/- I didn't know you could do that.

 One other question I would kie to know the answer to is , if I
 rip a dvd that is out of sync

 is it mplayer that gets out of sync or is the actual recording
 out of sync

 I would like to know as I am just about to buy a divx player to
 connect to the tv , and wondered what it would make of a divx
 that is out of sync ??

Thanks for the mencoder CL. I'll play around with it and see 
what kind of results I get.  As to what causes out of sync, heck 
I dunno, other than it's a problem with some encodes. I always 
figured it had something to do with the original source, since I 
get a lot of my movies from usenet newsgroups, and I'm then at 
the mercy of how the person that uploaded them, encoded them.

My best suggestion is to lurk for a while on the mplayer user 
mailing list.  Then ask there.  Be ready for some rough treatment 
tho if you perchance ask a dumb question, or some yahoo decides 
it's dumb. It's a knowledgable, but not very civilized source of 
info. A lot of RTFM replies. A lot of use the latest cvs source, 
last week's sux. Specially from the developers. Like the cooker 
list, support for prior versions is disdained, they want current 
version bug reports.

I stay close to current by using cooker. There's way too 
many ./configure options to deal with, compling from source. Some 
post ./config options that are 3 to 4 lines long.

I know we linux geeks all love CLI but... using DVD::Rip is a much 
easier way to get a good rip in linux. If i remember correctly it 
detects any delay needed for the audio stream and sets it automagically, 
avoiding sync problems. I know rpms are out there that work for 9.2 
because I used them to install it. Anyone interested in using them 
should be prepared to manually chase down some dependencies; IIRC I had 
to place some in a localRPMS folder I defined as a source for urpmi. 
Good luck!

 mostly just curious as I only recently got a DVD/CDrom myself.
 I've had a lot of luck just copying all the files in the VIDEO_TS
 directory on the DVD to a HDD dir. Then play the movie with
   'mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/movie/name_of_movie'

Or you can 'dd if=/dev/hdc of=name_of_movie'   that'll make a
 copy of the DVD in the dir you run the command from. You'll just
 get an extra 500mb's of useless M$ setup BS tho.  Out of 9 DVD's
 I have, only two refuse to be copied (an they're both older
 movies?). Well, I can copy 'em, but some of the .vob files come
 out -0- byte. No matter how I copy 'em. I've even tried playin
 the movie to a file, eg,
 'mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/hdc  /home/tom/name_of_movie'
 The same .vob's come up -0- byte. Evidently there's some copy
 protection libdvdcss isn't gettin around (?).

  I've done alot of reencoding .avi, .mpg, .wmv files with
 mencoder and it often results in a sound not in sync situation. I
 just deal with it by using the + and - keys to sync sound during
 playback. Which is why I like mplayer so much, the ability to
 adjust contrast, brightness, tint, color level, sync, and sound
 volume on the fly during playback.  I'm currently usin,
 mplayer-1.0-0.pre2.4plf
 mencoder-1.0-0.pre2.4plf
 libdvdread3-0.9.4-2mdk
 libdvdcss2-1.2.8-1plf
