Trouble is, I get too much mail as it is. I'll just continue to carry on
as I have - I get 2 new movies a week, so I go through a pretty fair
selection of trouble makers, and so far, I've got a good system that
uses a script that uses a combination of things - HandbrakeCLI,mplayer,
vlc, vobcopy, ddrescue, and dvdbackup, though I primarily use mplayer &
Handbrake - the former to rip, the latter to find the correct title -
all just to watch a stupid movie.  I'm considering releasing it on
sourceforge - but it's an awful effort to get all the source patched and
built, which has to be done or the script doesn't do much. So I'd have
to do a build system, which takes time and is painful. Though I guess if
I released i386 and amd64 debs, it would get the majority of the crowd.

I never would have gone down this path if those idiots hadn't pissed me
off several times when I had to spend a couple hours trying to just play
a movie I legally rented, so now I fix every glitch I discover, and make
sure someone gets the patch for the world at large.  It's astounding at
how devious and fruitless their efforts are - and I will continue to
fight with my vote and my code, but truly, I've got to have a mis-
behaving movie, and I haven't come across one since this last fix, so
not sure what being on the mailing list would do us - besides filling my
inbox.  I don't have time right now to go rent troublesome movies, so I
think this mode will work for now.  Besides, I've seen patches on
mplayerhq that sat there for months, with various people wondering why
they bothered.  I know this is a pain for you, since you have to
maintain the package, and it would be easier to submit to *hq, but maybe
we're good for a bit - until the next desperate, brain dead attempt
surfaces.
