<a href="dvd://1">dvd://1</a> -aid 128 -dumpstream -dumpfile video.mpg<br><br>Replace 1 and 128 with the title and audio channel you need. Perfect<br>copy, AC3 preserved if it's there (DVDs usually have AC3 streams but<br>
don't have to). Subtitles will be gone, other audio gone, comments and<br>bonus materials also gone unless you pick that title (then main<br>feature will be gone :).<br><br>MPlayer can play the resulting file, don't know about other players.

I hate to say this, but I use WinBloze and DVD Shrink to do what you are wanting to do.<br>
