Thanks.  My 20 minute DVD results in a 1.1 GB *.VOB file so I trust
that this may not be a concern here.

Are you suggesting that "colors" === "codecs"?   I saw the above
list of "colors" in the documentation, but I did not equate that
with the FOURCC codec names that I have been trying.  Should I
use one of those *Y* "colors" as the video codec in this case?

And, yes, I saw the "rm format" item in the "File formats" output of:

  % ffmpeg -formats

When I tried using it, I got similar failure results as those I
indicated yesterday.  In particular, the audio codec was "faad"
and the demuxer was "real", but there was NO video codec (or video
content) in the resulting *.RM file.  Please understand that I am
confused, and being a bit new to the world of multimedia, somewhat
clueless.  :-)
