[MPlayer-users] MPLAYER DVD Play Usability Question...

[Bruce Willis]

Hello, I am new to MPLAYER and it is great and comprehensive.

Can somebody please provide tips or guidance on how to execute playing of DVD from command line, where it always syncs up the start of the DVD?  Maybe it's impossible, but I found one disc I had to use

mplayer dvd://16 

to get to what would be the beginning of the Movie.... and another movie "GO" could not be played properly at all.  What I mean is, 

mplayer dvd://1

Would spin up the start of the movie, *with* director commentary.... I don't know how to turn that off... and all the rest of the tracks to the very end were 'extras'.  Could not get the movie to play cleanly.

Is there a sure-fire way to get into DVD's reliably in a standard way, or is that just simply not possible?

I didn't try the DVDMENU feature, but I noticed it wasn't included and heard it was very "Alpha" and such.  Maybe someone can clear any misconceptions or set me straight. :))

Best regards, BW.
