Hello,

when you guys use mplayer to play a DVD, how do you normally go about to play the main title? The way I do it today is, for the command line, use

Code:
mplayer ..... dvd://x


and circle through the x:es until I find what I want to see. Is there any better and faster way?

(I know about gmplayer, the GUI, but I'd prefer to handle it from the terminal if possible.)

Leave out the 'x'. It'll look for the biggest .ifo. That's usually the main title. Easy, isn't it? ;-)


Cheers

Thanks a bunch,

that WAS easy.

So I guess, for TV Series Episodes where each title is quite similar in length, you will have to resort to my earlier method?
