Nope, but i consider it a bit nasty that someone who introduces a patch with potential support for the
biggest drawback of MPlayer doesn't get any feedback ...

Whatever, i've tested the patch quickly and it appears the following :
- first dvd i've tried : the menu is displayed but once reached, instead of displaying a still picture waiting for
user interaction, the stream continues and so does the movie begin to play.
- second dvd i've tried : the dvd fbi bullshit warning si displayed and once it should have reached the main menu,
dvdnav receives a DVDNAV_STOP event and then MPlayer quits.

So basically it doesn't work for me at least on the few DVDs i've tested.
Nontheless, a patch is here and partly does its job so someone may consider looking at it more deeply.
It really would be a shame to drop it imho.

BTW, does MPlayer still have a DVD-related code maintainer ?
