Comment(by Greg G. <spikeygg@…>):

 I just updated to svn trunk rev 25368, I then went through the first 130
 movies in my collection (all hard drive ISO files).  I wonder if I should
 open a couple more tickets because there appears to be three types of
 issues here.  I separated them out below.  Over 20% of the movies caused
 crashes to myth or the desktop (segfault).

 I have three frontends (all SVN 25368).  Two of them use VDPAU and one
 uses the CPU to crunch the video, all three have repeatable and consistent
 results.  I didn't used to have this problem with playback of DVDs, I
 noticed the problem after updating to 25100 from 24785.  I looked through
 the commits and 24972 sounds like it could be the culprit just based on
 the commit comments.

 The following 17 movies crash back to the frontend menu when selecting the
 movie from mythdvd, or attempting to display the root menu of the dvd, or
 attempting to play the movie after selecting "play movie" from dvd's root
 menu:

 Akira Kurosawa's Dream
 Army of Darkness
 Bandits
 My Sister's Keeper
 The Contract
 Everything Is Illuminated
 Heist
 The Great Gatsby
 Rumor Has It
 Captain Ron
 Criminal
 Defending Your Life
 The Departed
 The Emperor's New Groove
 Father of the Bride (1950)
 BUtterfield 8
 European Vacation

 The following 11 crash to the desktop with segfault:
 An Affair to Remember
 All About Eve
 Beverly Hillbillies
 Big
 Dead Again
 Sabrina
 Brewster's Millions
 Broadcast News
 Chronicles of Riddick
 Pitch Black
 Clue

 The following 11 do not display the cursor when arriving at the DVD root
 menu:
 Adaptation.
 As Good As It Gets
 Awakenings
 Bad Boys
 Big Lebowski
 The Birdcage
 Black Hawk Down
 The Dark Crystal
 Death Becomes Her
 Devine Secrets of the Ya-ya Sisterhood
 Evolution

 These two have broken menus:
 America's Sweethearts - DVD root-menu causes very fast music and does not
 update the video.
 Clockwork Orange - Cannot get to root-menu, automatically presses "play
 movie" and starts playback.
