don't know about the invalid IFO, but since there are 99 titles, it's a 
clear sign to me that it is a copy protection scheme often used now by 
DVDs by Paramount or Disney. I don't even try playing them with dvd://, 
I use dvdnav:// instead. You might have to play the DVD with -v and 
dvdnav:// to find out which of the 99 titles contains the main feature. 
Other titles have the same feature, but with some chapters missing or in 
different order, just to irritate the player software.
