dvd drives store data and allow data recovery.

no.

It appears the latest subversions (svn) built with MinGW do support dvdnav.
They
 recently incorporated the souce code for libdvdread and for libdvdnav. They
used
 to be separate from the mplayer tree; but are now included.

The menus appear, at least they do with a regular DVD (haven't tried an ISO
file), but the keyboard mapping doesn't work with the number pad keys or
using the -mouse-movements option on the command line.

But it doesn't look like it would take much effort to get the keys working
in
windows. The mouse-movements and keyboard mapping is not a problem in
Linux builds.

This is a major leap in windows functionality.
