I just made an interesting experiment:
- I took one of the dvds I can't play with mplayer on my computer.
- I ripped it again with dvd shrink. This time, I created an iso file.
- I burned that iso in K3B.

Guess what the result is? Mplayer accepts to read the new copy!

Note BTW that not only mplayer has problems reading my buggy dvds. Xine and
Kaffeine are no better.

- There may be a problem with the data format produced by DVD Shrink.
- There may be a problem with K3B (or the linux toolchain).
- There may be a problem with my drive.

I will give a linux ripping tool a try at a later time.
