OK. I deinstalled my mplayer binaries, and downloaded and installed from mplayerhq.hu. This time I also made sure that the codecs were in the codecs directory. (Don't know if they were there the last time.)

Tried running '770-encode.pl -s dvd://1 avi.out'.

This time I got "Failed to get movie info".

Any further thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you.
