Some DVDs do not honor --stop-time

[RonJohn]

Hi,

Currently using v2.1.4, but this has been happening for a

long

time.

I run this whenever I want to rip a DVD, so that dd will work correctly (it apparently does not like to directly rip protected DVDs).

Code: Select all

cvlc :start-time=1 --stop-time=4 dvd:///dev/sr0 vlc://quit

Some DVDs (like the Boston Legal DVDs) quit after the requisite 4 seconds, but others (like for the movie Houseboat) do not. In that case, I must close the movie window and Ctrl-C the program.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks
