Maybe someone on the list has tried this?? VOBs are like mpeg-2, except that they are not always linear (you can spread a single video over multiple VOBs), and they are usually 'encrypted' with CSS protection. If you have dvdbackup, libdvdcss and libdvdread installed, you should be able to rip the VOBs off to viewable files pretty easily. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Reality -- what a concept! -- Robin | | steve@lobefin.net | Williams | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
