Damn. Well thanks for the info, but that looks like none of the discs
I've currently got are playable then :(

Oh well, I'll just have to keep an eye on ffmpeg then. I see some work
was done on it for GSoC this last year, though I can't find any mention
of what that actually got working (the patch I've found says support is
still "incomplete"). Unfortunately the patch doesn't apply to the ffmpeg
version in 0.24-fixes - I may check it out against the 0.25 dev branch
if I get time.

Cheers,
