This is almost what I want though since I am interested in specific parts of each chapter where the musical plays. The problem is that if I use -ss hh:mm:ss it probably is the absolute time in the DVD duration but if I turn on OSD the time that reports ion screen s the relative to the current chapter. Is there a way to convert the one into the other (it doesn't matter which to which) so I can have a common referece frame in time and note down the duration times of the music from each chapter and then rip them. Thanks guys, in half a day I learned the 'mplayer' intricate commands with your help. F.
