Oh, and since MythVideo already uses Mplayer, why isn't this DVD/SVCD
menu a
standard part of MythVideo?

Response on why there is no DVD playback supported in MythTV:

Nope, it's rather due to the fact that I consider software DVD playback
in 
linux pretty sub-par when compared to a real DVD player.  That said,
it's 
extremely easy to add a button to the menu to launch another program
(ogle, 
mplayer, xine, whatever) to play DVDs.
