Yeah, that's good.  Together with youtube video's, this will be good 
training stuff :)

I've seen that before. But now it works using Einhander's latest rpm on 
Leap: built: Jan 28 2024 04:01:19
The only thing it reports error on, is my last mentioned missing 
"dvd.mpg".... Terminal output below:

Ok, it is possible to just edit it there by hand

I have old A-one player labeled among others "MP3", a Toshiba labeled 
"DivX" and the Samsung BD player with "MKV" among supported playback 
formats..
But those are optional formats different players may support or not, and 
not part of the DVD-Video or BD-Video standards. Therefore I think it is 
most important to  prioritize the mandatory standard formats, possibly 
with notice warning if trying to go beyond the mandatory formats for 
DVD-Video or BD-Video, when the purpose is to be most sure the medium 
will play in other players. (and beside, some "industry protection wars" 
between PAL and NTSC lands, LPCM and Dolby etc)
