mplayer: how do I navigate a DVD title (movie)?
Hi: I have a DVD image file made by k3b which is a movie. I run mplayer:
Code:
root@server:/tmp/kde-bill# mplayer dvd:// 007.iso mplayer dvd://2 007.iso 2 is the title number. However it plays exactly the same as issuing mplayer dvd:// 007.iso The output in this case is Code:
root@server:/tmp/kde-bill# mplayer dvd://02 007.iso |

Anyways, for being able to navigate DVD menus you must compile mplayer with support for dvdnav. I don't know if that is the case for Slackware's MPlayer, if you have support for that you can use the arrow-keys on your keypad for navigating the menus. More info, as always, with Code:
man mplayer |
Code:
mplayer dvdnav:// -mouse-movements |
I used that syntax, mplayer dvdnav:// -mouse-movements, but I was able to enter only two of the items in the menu. If I enter the 'language selectio item', then after exiting the option it begins playing the movie. The behavior of mplayer with this DVD-video is chaotic. I have also tested it with commercial DVD titles, those that you buy in a shop or in Amazon.com, and it directly refuses to play it: it just exits. All of these DVDs play perfectly well in my standalone DVD player.
EDIT: It is likely the mess was done by k3b, which is the burner I used to write the DVD (a dual-layer DVD, but I don't think this has anything to do). I have a movie burned into a single layer DVD which, when played with dvdnav:// -mouse-movements behaves perfectly well. |

I've found that mplayer dvdnav:// can be a bit hit and miss with dvd menus (mostly miss). You could try playing it with xine. That has tended to work better for me on dvds with menus.

I have just tried one of the commercial DVD's mplayer is unable to play in Slackware 14.0 in a machine with 12.0 and an old version of mplayer. Result: it is perfectly played. The subtitle is not shown, but what do I need it for?
