Please let me know of any issue.

If it is written using only basic python structures, I can probably easily
translate it to perl. The information I need (apart from the default/longest
title) is, for the selected title:

- the type and ID of each stream;

- the offset and duration of each cell.

IIRC, MPlayer uses libdvdread, just an internal fork because of old
problems.

Using libdvdread would be beneficial to read encrypted DVDs directly. Using
libdvdnav would also work with obfuscated DVDs. But they are probably harder
to integrate into ffmpeg.
