mplayer is not a DVD player. it is a movie player. don't compare it to DVD
players.
if you want to enjoy menus, subpics instead of watching the movie, go to
ogle/xine, they was designed for that purpose...

and yoru mail is VERY offtopic here. it would be even offtopic at -users,
but here you should send patches not useless critics and nonsense comparison
