According to my tests, the UDF file system superblock is usually on sector (logical block address) 96, which means bytes 196608 to 198656. But that may confuse mplayer, so we need to skip it.
To play back DVD recordings using mplayer directly without mounting the file system, one needs to skip that superblock:
cdvdcontrol -l# list optical driveslsblk /dev/sr*# alternative, although it does not list models. In this example, the optical drive is/dev/sr1. Can also be image file.mplayer -sb 198656 /dev/sr1# Start playback at byte 198656, hence at LBA 97.

To play back DVD recordings using `mplayer` directly without mounting the file system, one needs to skip that superblock:
* `cdvdcontrol -l` # list optical drives
* `lsblk /dev/sr*` # alternative, although it does not list models.
In this example, the optical drive is `/dev/sr1`. Can also be image file.
* `mplayer -sb 198656 /dev/sr1` # Start playback at byte 198656, hence at LBA 97.
