Or the other way around: streaming only the actual DVD titles from the web
server.

What Floris probably does not realise is that the files on a DVD-video are
almost meaningless: they are the concatenation of every bits of MPEG stream
that the authoring tool needs to put somewhere, split at 1 Go boundaries.
The actual structure is stored in the IFO files, and needs libdvdread or
equivalent code to parse.

It one streams only one VOB file from the filesystem, one gets bits of
unrelated video (menus, commercials, commentaries) and only parts of the
interesting video (since it is probably bigger than 1 Go and this spans over
several files).

Various tools can extract the MPEG streams corresponding to exactly a
chapter, or a title; mplayer -dumpstream is one of them. Note that some
meta-information is lost (it is only in the IFOs), such as the mapping
between stream number and language and the palette for subtitles.

A FUSE tool that allows to mount a DVD-video and see the files and chapters
as separate files would be nice too.
