extracting single DVD title with vobcopy


Hiya,

I've just tried to extract a single title from a DVD+RW of stuff I've recorded from the telly, using vobcopy. Unfortunately, instead of extracting the single, modest-sized title as I asked, it has whacked the entire DVD onto my hard drive:

Code:
Copying finished! Let's see if the sizes match (roughly)
Combined size of title-vobs: 4649549824 (4434 MB)
Copied size (size on disk):  4649549824 (4434 MB)
Everything seems to be fine, the sizes match pretty good ;-)
[Hint] Have a lot of fun!
dino:~/tmp/DVD> ls -l
total 4545014
-rw-r--r--  1 jg jg 2147473408 Mar 25 01:07 PHILIPS_DVD_VR4-1.vob
-rw-r--r--  1 jg jg 2147473408 Mar 25 01:14 PHILIPS_DVD_VR4-2.vob
-rw-r--r--  1 jg jg  354603008 Mar 25 01:15 PHILIPS_DVD_VR4-3.vob
.. must admit, I find its cheery announcement that 'everything seems to be fine' a bit irritating, in the circumstances.

I did

vobcopy -n 4

.. which the man page tells me should get only the 4th title, not the whole disk. Xine confirms that the title I want is indeed only one of 5 on the disk, and the 4th.

Any ideas?

If you have a recent "vobcopy",
you could try the -O option:

vobcopy -O PHILIPS_DVD_VR4-1.vob
