A DVD player navigates through the disc based on the structures in the VOB files, so it can be told to skip blocks on the disc. If you try to read the disc as a UDF filesystem, you'll hit the blocks that the VOB navigation skips. The copy protection works by making those blocks bad so you cannot do a block by block copy of the disc. >> Can you turn the DVD into an iso or something file and play from hard >> disk? >How do I do this? mkisofs?

If you get a recent version of vobcopy (http://vobcopy.org/), it should be able to make a copy of the disc which can then be played off the HDD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
