Request for command line enhancements: list option, title selection, name

[VetDedTeo27]

I'm using v3.0 successfully to make .mpg files of DVDs so that I can play them on Windows Media Center (Vista). Many of these DVDs are of TV shows. I want to be able to extract the episodes as separate videos.

A few things I would like to see for the command line to make this easier:

- A "list" option /L, so that I can see what is on the DVD without having to run the GUI. The /L option would be exclusive to /MainTitle and /T. One very useful feature would be if the main title listed the equivalent order of the other titles that comprise it (based on info in the .IFO?). Usually, on a TV DVD there is a title which plays all episodes. I have seen at least one DVD where the episodes are out of order if you base it on the title number order. One important piece of information for each title is its duration. This makes it easy to pick out which titles are episodes since they have a similar length (around 45 minutes, for example).

- The ability to specify several titles to extract to separate files on one command line. I see that this can be done for chapters but for TV episodes (example: /T=4,5,7,6), I'd rather have the title option so that I can run it from one command line. I want these as separate .mpg files but others might also want a /st option equivalent to /sc.

- The ability to specify the name of the output file, including a counter. For example, /o="M:Gavin & Stacey, Series 2, Disc 1, Episode #" where the "#" is replaced by the sequence number from /T above. Not the title numbers since they may be out of sequence. So the output files would be:

Gavin & Stacey, Series 3, Disc 1, Episode 1.mpg
Gavin & Stacey, Series 3, Disc 1, Episode 2.mpg
Gavin & Stacey, Series 3, Disc 1, Episode 3.mpg
Gavin & Stacey, Series 3, Disc 1, Episode 4.mpg

(not ending in 4, 5, 7, 6, as selected by /T=4,5,7,6)

Thank you
