I've got a DVD recorder (the VCR replacement type) and have recorded a TV s=
how=20
to DVD off air.

The disc shows only two .vob file of 1GB whereas there should be three of=20
these 1GB plus a smaller one as well as the very small one (the front end=20
menu)

The one visible in the file system is the first one.

=2Dr-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1073739776 Mar 27 20:01 vts_01_1.vob

Does anyone know how to access the rest of the files?  I'm assuming it's so=
me=20
sort of multi-session format or maybe some sort of packet writing format.

I've had a play with some of the cd/dvd utils and I've not, so far, found a=
=20
way to access other sessions.

I did find a program for Windows which managed to successfully rip the whol=
e=20
show from the disc, but I'd rather not have to boot back to WinXP for=20
something which on the surface looks like a simple task.

Is there a CD/DVD reader utility/tool which can show the available sessions=
=20
and select which one to read?

Is it some weird format/ToC which I'm just not "getting"?

Any all pointers to docs, the right program etc appreciated.

=46urther reading on the matter suggests that I should specify that the dis=
c in=20
question is a DVD+RW (the DVD Recorder can play back DVD- but only records =
to=20
DVD+ so reading DVD+R/RW is the important bit)
