   Yes, it means that the file you gave it didn't have a recognizable
format. This usually happens either when the video file is encrypted,
either when the file isn't a real video file (like a menu file, for
instance). If your DVD is encrypted, you'll have to get css-cat. Or if
the problem was that you weren't feeding the proper files, you can try
the other .vob files, such as vts_01_1.vob.
