THIS WORKED!!!!!!

I've not given it a huge test considering I'm across the state and
doing it remotely but due to the wonders of ssh and vnc I was able to
make the change then play one of the DVD .iso's that had issues.  It
played fine and I was able to get to the menu and select different
chapters to play.  GREAT!!!!

Thank you!  If you make a patch that is more of a fix then a hack I'll
gladly test it for you.

Thanks again,

Neil
