[DVDnav-discuss] VLC patches

Hello,

VLC is now using this version as a base for dvd reading.

However, we still apply a patch against it:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/browser/trunk/extras/contrib/src/Patches/libdvdnav.patch

Some of this patch is to compile correctly under some version of
cygwin/MSys (lseek, gettimeoftheday and LL)

Another part is about forcing to link with libdvdcss.

And the last one is to use dvdinput_open(device) instead of open(device,
O_RDONLY);

I don't understand all the patch (haven't studied it yet), but I wanted to 
inform you about that.

Best Regards,
