Won't that do everything on the disc? Don't you need a number 1 after that, to play just the main title? (Can't try that, myself, at the moment. I've done individual tracks before, never tried omitting the title number.) > This will "dump" the actual movie into a file, rather than onto the > screen (and speakers).

Might be worth pointing out that although you've called your sample file a file.avi, above, it's not an AVI file format. Since you're creating a MPEG filedump, you may as well use a mpeg, mpg, or vob file suffix, just so that your filename gives you an instant clue about what it is, or for automating what program will play it when you double-click on it. Some media players are better at one thing than another, and you might want to set different default programs to open particular file formats. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
