NICE!
There was a patch (uhh, made by ... erhmm I forgot ...) but that used
byte offsets so it has serious problems over 2G ;-( And it had got
other strange effects as well, but ... it worked at least, I can play
DVD without playing VOBs but the whole disc at once from begining to
end. However it hadn't got DVD menu support or similar.

If you're interested in GO AHEAD! ;-)
And write DVD sub support code as well :)

BTW, the preliminary DVD support can be found in mplayer is written by me.
That was not a big project and it's ugly ... time to change this is
coming ...
