Worked just fine with acidrip ... and it is using mplayer to do the
heavy lifting. The debug panel does show a bunch of the

*** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in libdvdread4/nav_read.c:264 ***
*** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 ***

lines. But the resulting .avi plays fine. This was created on a a
LiteOn DVD-RW unit I have connected to my satellite dish.

Best,
