Hi A'rpi! Hope this is not to OT for you but I thought it was of some
interest to some readers (e.g. the original poster)

I tried that (with not the newest cvs-version) some time ago and it
didn't work (I'll take a look into it later)

Well, nice to know, since I looked around heavily to find something
similar like vobdec under win and didn't find anything. 
But - a search at either google.linux or google itself didn't turn up
any usable information about csscat, for example where to get it.
So, like you did, I wrote something myself to solve the problem. It's
actually a quick hack using the libdvdread library since I'm pretty
new to programming, especially under linux. But it works and does
something mplayer -dumpstream can't (for now..): Read the title of the
dvd and write the files accordingly. The program is called vobcopy and
can be downloaded from http://linux-programming-newbie.org/ (topmost
news item). 
Hope this is of some use for some ppl and A'rpi: Mplayer is really
great. Keep up the fabulous work (supporters included)!
