Re: Commercial DVD makes libdvdread go nuts

Hi,

Did you receive my reply to your message? It is not in the archives of the 
mailing list...

Anyway, there are two commercial DVD titles in my collection that make 
libdvdread go nuts, both from the same producer. The DVD titles contain 
archival footage of live performances of a Dutch rock band from the 
sixties. I guess the producer did not bother to add any special copy 
protection schemes because it is not a popular title or anything. Is there 
any way to check for copy protection schemes? Do copy protection schemes 
really prevent DVD players from properly reading the table of contents? 
That would sound strange to me.

I also tried upgrading to libdvdread 0.9.5, but I see the problem 
using that version.

Is there any way that I can extract interesting sections of the DVD and 
send it to the list for analysis?

Cheers,

Dik
