I haven't had much luck playing DVDs using the internal player in
0.21-fixes. Can't remember the exact issues I ran into but it was
something along the lines of issues with menus, or the player not being
able to get to the root DVD menu because it would get stuck in a loop
playing the introduction prior to the menu. I do remember that this
happened with more than just one DVD (rented DVD, not a DVD that I
burned myself.)

Because of these issues I use Xine as my DVD player in MythVideo. I was
hoping that these issues were ironed out in the upcoming 0.22 since it
is nicer to use the internal player for everything.

Cheers,
