[MPlayer-users] Support for DVD jacket images

[eyagerlist at chartermi.net]

Many recently authored DVDs have a subdirectory named /jacket_p which 
contains several files with .mp2 file extensions.  Here is a listing of 
the files.

-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root        55296 2003-05-06 12:09 j00___5l.mp2
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root        20480 2003-05-06 12:09 j00___5m.mp2
-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     root        10240 2003-05-06 12:09 j00___5s.mp2


These files are supposed to be still images of the DVD jacket art which 
many newer DVD players use as a screensaver when the movie is stopped and 
etc.

Running mplayer on these files doesn't work.  It will recogize the files, 
but no frames are decoded.  Mplayer will instantly reach the end of the 
file.   I was hoping to do a capture of the images in these files by 
running "mplayer *.mp2 -vo png".

Here is some of the information mplayer spits out.

==> Found video stream: 0

Any ideas on how to view the jacket art?
