That's why I noted that Samba might be the problem. However, I would
have liked more information on this before giving up on it - is it Samba
specifically that's the problem, or any type of network? The whole point
of doing this was to run the DVDs over a network to a combination of
Windows and Linux machines. If it's not possible, there's no point in
continuing. Even if I placed the DVDs on a Linux host, they would only
be available to a Windows box via Samba, so I would presumably run into
the same problem form the other end, unless Windows does a better job of
reading the stream.
