Ok, enlighten me then. What's so funny about writing out a corrupt file? 
The "core" message may be a joke, but the CRC error is real, and there 
is something wrong with the file at the very end. I tried to load it 
into "DVD Complete", for example, and DVD Complete recognizes it as a 
valid file and starts loading. but aborts at the end of the file. If I 
run mplayer -dumpstream -chapter 1-1 the error is at the end of chapter 
1, but if I do -chapter 1-2 then chapter 1 is fine and the error is at 
the end of chapter 2, so there is something wrong with the way mplayer 
finalizes and closes the file.
