That might be true, but I can't imagine that this could be a final
solution, having to run some program in between to make it work, as up
to this moment everything (and also Disney DVDs) I have been able to
play with dvdnav, especially because it doesn't reed the unplayble
sectors and cells. Only recently though because of some complex cell
navigation (I assume) playback has a problem with two of my newest DVDs,
and in this case I still doubt your solution would work miracles, as it
is the jumping around (apparently) that doesn not work correctly, and
this is clearly a mplayer problem.
