I have no problems playing DVDs on my computers, since I use a
DeCSS-enabled version of MPlayer.

I prefer to watch DVDs on my television. I have decided that if I have
purchased a region-locked DVD, it is ethical to make a backup copy.
Furthermore, said backup copy shall be region-free. Fair use, I say.
The cartels may disagree. Sod 'em.

All that aside, what I really need is an MPEG stream analyser. I can
write one myself in C, or modify streamdvd to work on MPEG streams as
well as VOB files, but I would rather not if a stream analyser is
available.

Is no-one aware of such a beast?
