I went through my to-watch pile but haven't exhaustively checked each  
disc. Normally once I get a problem I switch the player to xine. So  
far I haven't encountered very many dvds which are fully watchable  
using the internal player although I sometimes watch the main title  
and the switch to xine for extras. Sex and Lucia seems to be one that  
works OK in all menus. If I had to choose only one film on a desert  
island that would be a good pick.

Anyhow, here's the breakdown:

Apocalypse Now Redux
- No highlighting on submenus
- Scene selection menu iterates through all selections and then  
player freezes although exit key works

Bitter Tears (the Fassbinder film)
- crash when any submenu is selected
- logfile says "libdvdnav: *** pgci_ut handle is NULL ***"

Battleship Potemkin
- selecting root menu from the popup iterates through all scene  
selections and then crashes

The Cider House Rules
- no menu highlights

Like Water for Chocolate
- selecting subtitles off the root menu crashes player, log says  
"DVDNAV_STOP"
+ the scene selection menu works

Control Room
- go into scene selection and press down to select a scene - player  
takes it as "next title" and starts playing something
- same for other submenus

Dzi Oi / Embrace Your Shadow
- menu highlights so faint as to be unreadable

Elles étaient cinq / The Five of Us
- no menu highlights

Frida
- when I skip to the root menu from the opening fbi warning I get  
"pgci_ut handle is NULL" and highlighting is inconsistent after that
- movement of highlight is inconsistent in submenus although it does  
seem to be moving from one selection to another

Gladiator
- can't select director commentary from audio submenu. Down acts as  
"next title" and you get to the subtitles menu instead
- deleted scenes submenu iterates through all selections and then  
autoplays the "all" choice

The Great Escape
- scene selection auto-iterates through about half the selections and  
then freezes. Exit key works
- special features submenu auto-plays the documentary so you never  
see the choice of "Theatrical Trailer"

The Green Mile
- no highlighting on submenus (scene selections, special features)
- languages submenu pops back to root menu immediately

Hable con ella / Talk to Her
- no menu highlighting although the navigation seems to work

Hard Days Night
- highlighting inconsistent in submenus. Initial selection will be  
underlined but when you navigate away the underline disappears

Life of Brian
- commentaries menu crashes player, log says "DVDNAV_STOP"
- same for deleted scenes

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956 version)
- special features crashes player with "DVDNAV_STOP" in the log
- scene selection iterates through all selections and then exits

The Manchurian Candidate (2004 version)
- special features menu plays to intro animation and then jumps back  
to root menu
- one of the other menus (not sure because highlighting wasn't  
working) exits player immediately

The Manchurian Candidate (1962 version)
- no menu highlighting

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
- on entering root menu player exits with a DVDNAV_STOP

Night of the Hunter
- on entering root menu player exits with a DVDNAV_STOP

Rashomon (Criterion version)
- Chapters and Languages submenus iterate through all selections and  
then begin playing the movie
- when the film starts from the chapters menu I can't get back to the  
root menu, it keeps restarting the film

Roman Holiday
- Special Features plays the little animation and then pops back to  
the root menu
- Scene selection plays the animation and exits with DVDNAV_STOP

Rosencrantz & Guilenstern Are Dead
- Stills Gallery on the extras disc iterates through all pictures and  
returns to root menu
- other than that this one seems to play OK. good work!

Shadow of a Doubt
- DVDNAV_STOP on special features menu

The Shining
- highlight graphic (a film reel) doesn't move with navigation  
although player seems to know where it is
- jump to a scene iterates through first two screens of selections  
and then freezes player

The Sixth Sense
- chapter selections auto iterate through first two screens

Taxi Driver
- menu highlights don't work

All About My Mother
- menu highlights don't work

Toy Story 1 and 2 combo package

are NOT handled yet."

- libdvdnav: RANDOM or SHUFFLE titles are NOT handled yet.
- UI freeze when you get to root menu although exit key works

- disc 1 - popup jump to root menu iterates through a bunch of  
screens and comes to rest on Edmond O'Brien biography, UI is frozen  
after that but exit works
- disc 2 - popup jump to root menu iterates through a bunch of  
screens and comes to rest on Robert Ryan film highlights, UI is  
frozen after that but exit works
- if you let it go it autoplays the main title OK so that's something

Witness for the Prosecution
- plays the MGM sting and then exits, no message in logfile
- if you can select the root popup during those first 5 seconds the  
root menu exits with DVDNAV_STOP

Yojimbo (Criterion version)
- main title autoplays, if you select root menu from the popup the  
menu graphic flashes briefly and the film plays on

Center Stage (biopic about Ruan Ling Yu)
- main title autoplays, selecting root menu from popup flashes the  
graphic and then immediately begins the main title

Thelonious Monk: Strait, No Chaser
- no menu highlights
- scene selection iterates through all the screens and then exits  
with DVDNAV_STOP

My setup is an epia m10000, debian (mostly) unstable, xorg 7.1, myth . 
20-fixes (from Christian's packages), playback is through VIA XvMC.  
The other possibly interesting bit of info is from the log: it's  
"Using dvdnav version 0.1.10-xine from http://xine.sf.net".

All of these titles were extracted using MacTheRipper into a file  
structure minus css, macrovision and regional locks. Those files are  
then passed through mkisofs to create the iso I place in my mythvideo  
folder. After an extraction I use xine to verify that the iso is  
valid and coherent.

If there are specific things to try I can see about building my own  
packages with patches.
