[Mplayer-advusers] DVD handling bug?

hi, i seem to be having a problem with mplayer and a specific DVD. (star trek:
the original series, volume 6, title 2 i.e. the second episode on the disc)
using different VOs such as dxr3 and fbdev i get the same results: mplayer quits
(not crashes) after several seconds of playing. according to the log (attached),
it seems mplayer thinks the MPEG stream has reached the end of the file? i've
ripped the DVD to disc, DeCSSed and demacrovisioned it and burned it to a DVD-R
and i get the same exact results when using -dvd, but if i mount the disc and
try to play the VOB file corresponding to the title, it works fine, although
mplayer does not automatically skip to the next VOB file (the title is over
1 GB).

i have attached several files:

mplayer-startrekvol6.log.gz:
mplayer quitting after several seconds (-dvd mode)

mplayer-startrekvol6vob.log.gz:
mplayer working fine (reading the VOB file; i pressed q several seconds after
the point mplayer in -dvd mode quits)

mplayer-startrek6ss30.log.gz:
same as mplayer-startrekvol6.log.gz, but with -ss 30, mplayer quits immediately

systemspecs-bst.gz:
my system specifications


is this perhaps a problem with the disc, although it plays fine in other windoze
software DVD players and consumer DVD set-top boxes, or is it a bug in mplayer's
DVD handling? (i have not tested xine, as its dxr3 plugin does not want to
compile, bah)


TIA
