Richard,

I've applied your patch to 0.26.  I can't say I saw much of a
difference but at least it didn't seem to break anything!

For the DVD playback problem I've run -v playback and
--loglevel=debug.  The resulting log can be found here:

A few items of note...  This was using a .iso made from the disk.  The
.iso was decrypted using DVD Fab under wine.  I never had a problem
playing it before but it's been a while since I've watched it so I
don't know at what point something went wrong.  Using makemkv to make
a .mkv of the main feature from the .iso used in this test produces
results in perfect playback of the .mkv.  This seems to happen only
when a DVD is watched.  If I get a chance I'll dig the DVD out of a
box and try playing that directly.

This problem is not found with all DVD's but the Inception is the most
recent one I've noticed it with.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks,

Neil
