[MPlayer-users] Problem seeking in DVD "device" on hard drive.

[David Preece (windows box)]

Hi,

I'm trying to persuade mplayer to play just certain chapters of an 
unencrypted VIDEO_TS folder and am having mixed success. The title in 
question apparently has 31 chapters, but while this works fine ....

   mplayer.exe -dvd-device "e:\Extracted\JH" dvd://2 -chapter 13-13

The following doesn't

   mplayer.exe -dvd-device "e:\Extracted\JH" dvd://2 -chapter 14-14

And produces the following output:

mplayer.exe -dvd-device "e:\Extracted\JH" dvd://2 -chapter 14-14

As you can tell I'm running on Windows. I've read the manual, faq and 
googled to no avail. Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Dave
