Greetings... I have a Panasonic DVD-RAM recorder that can record to DVD-R or DVD-RAM. The DVD-Rs are in the usual DVD format, but the DVD-RAM is a little different. The cool thing about the DVD-RAM format is that you can edit it to bleep commercials, etc. Plus of course, the DVD-RAM drive in my Linux box can mount it as a UDF filesystem and play the video with xine. Anyway, there are 3 files on it: VR_MANGR.IFO - info file VR_MANGR.BUP - backup of the IFO VR_MOVIE.VRO - appears to be a standard MPEG2 file, playable with mplayer, xine, etc. So I've Googled quite a bit, and come up with very few hits and no info on the format of the IFO file. I think it's close (but not identical) to a DVD's VIDEO_TS.IFO file. Does anyone have any code to parse it? Right now I'm playing with libvdread to see if the VIDEO_TS.IFO routines will do so, but I'm not yet real familiar with the code. If anyone wants a copy of the files to hack on, I can record a short segment and put it on my website. -gc -- Gene Cash Americas Operations - Senior Support Engineer Phone: 407-458-1596 Oracle Support Services (Orlando, FL USA)
