I tryed the latest CVS snapshot, and indeed it has the dvd:// support in mencoder and -dvd is deprecated. But I can confirm this is not the behaviour of the official 0.90, which still accepts -dvd parameter in both mplayer and mencoder, and it doesn't accept dvd:// only in mencoder (mplayer is fine). -- Fabio Papa MCE S.r.l.
