Thanks a lot for your replies!
MPlayer does play this DVD when launched with : 'mplayer dvdnav:// -no-cache'.
It fails with : 'mplayer dvd://[any title]' or 'mplayer dvdnav://[any title] -no-cache'

OTOH, as i said in my first post :
'mplayer -vo null -ao null -nomsgcolor -nomsgmodule -frames 0 -noidx -identify -nocache -noidle dvd://'  eats up all my system memory before crashing.
BUT replacing "-identify" with "-msglevel identify={1,2,3}" exits with no error, while
"-msglevel identify={4+} " crashes.

My concern with this is two fold :
- the graphical frontend i use hangs because it tries to build a playlist from the DVD titles
with the above command prior to actually play the DVD with dvdnav://
- my linux DLNA server (PS3 mediaserver) relies on mplayer to stream DVDs to my TV, 
and it fails with that DVD because it streams titles directly instead of passing by the menu.

Any (little) chance to see a solution to this? Please please please...
