Tested  with  xine  now. No luck. It doesn't play anything of the DVD not even
the titels that mplayer can show. I don't have a hardware  player  but  I  was
told  most  of  them  don't have problems with it. It seems only closed source
software player can play these DVDs. They seem to have some way to correct the
broken  file structur or to ignore it. I don't understand though why there are
hardware players that can cope with them.
