[MPlayer-dev-eng] New patch for play DVD's with dvdnav://

Hi everybody!

One day, I read this post in your website:

Happy new year! Just a quick note, if you got some DVD's as a gift,
mplayer -nocache dvdnav:// should play your new movies better than dvd://.

So i tried to use my DVD's with dvdnav:// option and I cannot change again subtitles or
audio by DVD menu :( .
I look your mplayer source code and I see that you're used only a little extract of the
patch that i send you.

So I decided to correct these bugs. And I have benefited to improve others things.

Here is the new patch that i use for Java MPlayer (version 1.3)
(http://jaime.gemelo.free.fr/javamplayer/index.html) , a Java GUI of MPlayer for Linux
that I created.
This patch was created thanks to my work and Ötvös Attila's old patch
(http://onebit.hu/root/mplayer/dvdnav).
It solves the following things:

-> DVDNAV:
	- You can select audio and subtitle language by DVD menu
	- White semi-transparent icons are replaced by DVD original icons (with original colors
of course)
	- Subtitles get their original colors too.
	- Bug of "-zoom" option corrected

-> Slave mode:
	- You can get results of get_time_pos and get_time_length even if the video or music is
paused.

-> Mouse-movements option improved: if you move your mouse's cursor when the video is
paused, nothing happens.


To apply this patch, launch this command: patch -Np1 -i "name of the patch".
Then you can reinstall mplayer.

Here is the list of Commercial DVD's that i tested with my patch. I meet no problems:
- Cowboy Bebop the movie
- Tales of Phantasia: The Animation
- Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
- Final Fantasy: Advent Children
- King Kong
- Matrix series
- Iron Man
- Ghost Rider
- Night at the Museum
- 300
- Garfield

I have a little problem with three DVDs:
- Star Wars Episode III: When i set no subtitle, it display the name of the actors
- Dardevil: It hangs when i switch movie to DVD menu with "key 5"
- The Lord of the Rings: I lost the DVD icons when I switch Chapter Menu to DVD menu but
they reappear when i move the mouse cursor on a DVD option

Any respectable contribution would be welcome in order to improve together DVDNAV support

To finish, I would like to have a link to my Java MPlayer project in your "Related
Projects". Is it possible please ?

In a friendly manner!
