I tried mplayer dvd://1-20 (mplayer dvd://1-99) and it plays titel 2 and 3 as usual but then runs through all other:

Playing dvd://4.
There are 26 titles on this DVD.
There are 16 chapters in this DVD title.
There are 1 angles in this DVD title.
libdvdread: Invalid title IFO (VTS_03_0.IFO).
Cannot open the IFO file for DVD title 3.
No stream found to handle url dvd://4


Playing dvd://5.
There are 26 titles on this DVD.
There are 1 chapters in this DVD title.
Invalid DVD chapter number: 0
No stream found to handle url dvd://5



dvdnav seems not to know range specifications:

libdvdnav: ifoRead_VOBU_ADMAP vtsi failed
dvdnav_stream, you didn't specify a track number (as in dvdnav://1), playing whole disc


I  wonder if nobody else so far had a DVD with this copy protection. They seem
not too popular but that I am the first mplayer user or  better  dvdcss/dvdnav
to get stuck on them?
