I know exactly why Michael wants "next chapter" to skip to the next
title.  There are a lot of DVDs where the "Movie" starts out with a
whole bunch of single-chapter 15 second titles at the front of the
movie.  Most of these short titles are things like FBI warnings.  It
is very annoying to have to sit through theses, especially when there
are several of them with the same message just in a different
language.

Just to be clear, I am not talking about the stuff leading up-to the
main menu, I am talking about short "titles" which you have to sit
through after you select "Play Movie" from the main menu.  Currently
there does not seem to be any way to skip these titles.  If I am wrong
please enlighten me.

On another note, I actually had to use xine to watch "Underworld:
Evolution".  For some reason watching this movie using Myth's internal
player resulted in very jerky, very blocky playback of the main movie.
 The previews and menus actually seem to play fine.

I really love being able to use Myth's internal player for DVDs.  You
have done a great job on it.  Thank you!
