No real answer from the mplayer side on this question...re-posing here :)
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Noticed the other day with a (fairly mundane?) DVD (teenage mutant
ninja turtles)
$ mplayer dvdnav://
works splendidly
$ mplayer dvdnav://1
basically just results in this message over and over again:
DVDNAV stream read error!
DVDNAV stream read error!
though starting at chapter 2, then it starts playing ok again.
I don't think this is a dvdcss thing, as it doesn't report any errors.
dvd://1 also works fine.
VLC works fine, even starting with chapter 1.
other possible sightings:

Any ideas what might be lacking in the mplayer code here? Some absent
initialization/bootstrapping perhaps?
