When I first select the DVD, instead of the DVD starting to play, freevo goes off
and does "Scanning, please stand by ... ".  I don't think that's what should happen.
After the scan, I get the DVD file listing, the first item being VIDEO_TS.  When I select
VIDEO_TS, the above happens, but, I don't think I should have ever had the opportunity
to select VIDEO_TS since freevo should have invoked xine to play the DVD.
