Reviving an old thread here.  Did this problem ever get solved?  I'm 
building a new box on Mythubuntu 8.10beta.  It sure sounds like DVD 
playback has problems with Still Frames.  I haven't encountered a still 
frame it could play thru.  I'm hoping that the myth build in Mythubuntu 
8.10beta is just out of date and when the release happens the .21-fixed 
weekly builds will solve the problem.  Myth is my primary dvd player. 
Its up converting looks great on my projector.  These disks play fine 
under .20 with ubuntu 7.10.
