[mythtvnz] Any ideas why I get only sound - only with DVDs?

[Jason Haar]

I have a basically working MythTV now - can record/watch TV, watch AVIs,
mp3,etc. Audio is ALSA and works fine. I have not esd/artsd running -
just pure ALSA.

However, I'm trying to rip a new DVD I have, and in "ISO image" or 
"Perfect" mode, it records the video - but no audio!

Similarly, if I just try to play the DVD - nothing shows on screen, but
"ps" shows mplayer is running.

So then I ran mplayer by hand - same problem. It reports "Encrypted VOB
file!" many times, then the video shows up - sans audio.

OTOH xine plays the DVD just fine - audio and all.

I suspect it's a codec issue, but I cannot find out what's amiss. I've
tried this with a few DVDs - same problem.

Any ideas? I have libdvd* installed, but that doesn't seem to be used by
mplayer?

This is FedoraCore4, mplayer-1.0-54_pre8.fc4.at

Thanks!
