[mythtv-users] MythVideo doesn't read lots of DVD's

["José Tomás @ Chico"]

Hi all!
This does not have to do about media quality or media damage.
This is applicational, I tested new brand DVDs and old DVDs, with VLC, 
mpalyer and at common set top DVD player, only mplayer failed. :-(

About the quality and protection of the the stream that resides on the 
DVDs I saw evidences that there are some issues.
If we read the latests release notes for the new versions for 
libdvdnav/libdvdread/libmpeg2 they all are pointing to deal with some 
quality issues.
And they manage how to have some improvements related to.

Is not possible to put here all links, some I do not have here...

Thanks!
