Hi, I'd like to know how to determine which files correspond to particular chapters on a DVD. I rented Six Feet Under the other day and had watched two of the three episodes on one of the discs, but then had to return it. I copied the entire disc to my HD with DVD Backup, but I would have liked to only copied the episode I wanted to see.

Thanks for any info

The file structure on DVDs has nothing to do with chapters. When you author a DVD, you have a large MPEG for each title, and the authoring program lets you specify times for chapters. It splits the MPEG up just so as not to go over the 1GB single file limit of the UDF file system.

Many TV DVDs, however, have each episode as a separate title, and titles often are stored in separate files (or groups of files if they go over 1 GB each).

Many DVD decryptors only show you the disk based on the DVD structure instead of the file structure, because it makes more sense and because that's the way libdvdread functions. Among these are 0SEx and YADE.
