Today I wanted to rip the audio tracks of yet another DVD for Claudia for her portable MP3 player. This used to work quite well (2007-01-19 Extract MP3 and Metadata from DVD). I’m not sure what happened in the mean time, but MPlayer refused to play `dvd://1` and friends.

I tried playing the DVD with VLC, and that worked. In the “Open Volume” dialog I noticed that VLC was playing from `/dev/rdisk1`. So I tried the following:
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/rdisk1
And this is what I got:
... MPlayer was compiled without libdvdread support.
Hm...
sudo port install mplayer +dvdread
Result:
... checking for dvdcss/dvdcss.h... no configure: error: You need libdvdcss (dvdcss.h)
Going back even further:
sudo port install libdvdcss
That worked! Redoing what I was doing:
sudo port install mplayer +dvdread
However:
`Error: Target com.apple.build returned: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_multimedia_MPlayer/work/MPlayer-1.0rc1" && LD=cc make all" returned error 2` `Command output: symbol _fmodl used from dynamic library /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib(single module) not from earlier dynamic library /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib(ld64.o)`
This was on my iBook with OSX 10.3.
Out of curiosity, I checked the Mini with OSX 10.4. There, everything worked.
I really need to remove the software from the iBook so that it no longer confuses me.
