My guess is that the video stream itself is corrupted, i.e., that they 
saved a corrupt file on the DVD because, as I stated, I tested with 
another physical DVD box that I bought. Or maybe this is something that 
might work on a DVD player but not on my computer, I haven't tested.

I currently have newest stable builds. VLC freezes for a long time 
(earlier versions had blocks on the screen and skipped to the next 
chapter). Mplayer shows the blocks and skips to the next chapter. I am 
not sure if this is a libdvdnav problem or a problem with the players or 
codecs or whatever.
