In the (german) mplayer man page, it says: -dvd-device <Pfad zum Gerat> (nur bei DVD) Gibt das DVD-Gerat an (Standard: /dev/dvd). Du kannst auch ein Verzeichnis angeben, das die zuvor direkt von DVD kopierten Dateien enthalt (so wie mit vobcopy). Merke, dass die Benutzung von -dumpstream normalerweise ein besserer Weg ist, DVD-Titel zu kopieren (siehe Beispiele). That's wrong. mplayer has no option "-dvd-device". The correct option name is "--dvd-device". In the man page, there's just one - before dvd, but there need to be two -. The same is true for other options listed in the man page. media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre6 This error is present in all the man pages of mplayer (in all languages).

Could also be, that mplayer itself should accept, as documented, -dvd-device. Looks like, except --help, a double-dash finishes argument list, so all after that no more an option, see comment in line 93 in parse-mpcmd.c: /* check for -- (no more options id.) except --help! */ Should be submitted UPSTREAM
This is their man pages, so it really needs to be checked upstream. Use the MPlayer bugzilla to submit a bug report, then announce it on the mplayer dev mailling list (to which I subscribe and will notice the results..).
Roland: No, the option is --dvd-device, not -dvd-device. Try it.

Add dvd and probably dvdread to your USE flags. -- is end of options, filenames are now coming. mplayer doesn't check/use, what's immediatly after -- Try: mplayer --foobar Same results Leave as INVALID

Closed ad invalid. Upstream will add some cosmetic changes to report in a more verbose way the option disabled.
