dear all,

i built vlc with the following options enabled:

 --enable-mmx --enable-gnome --enable-fb --enable-ggi --enable-esd

to play austin powers, i follow the steps:

./reset /dev/hdd
./tstdvd /dev/hdd   (disk-key is created)
mount /dev/hdd /cdrom/
./tstdvd /dev/hdd /cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_0.vob  (title-key is created)
mv title-key title1-key   (don't know why i have to do this.  it just
            doesn't work unless i rename the title-key).
cat /cdrom/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob | ./css-cat -vaP - | vlc -

anyway, everything goes fine for awhile, and then i start seeing some error
messages:

	spudec: unknown command 0x50
	spudec: unknown command 0xf8
	spudec: unknown command 0x51
	spudec: unknown command 0x35
	spudec: unknown command 0x90

this goes on for awhile and then these start popping up:

	ac3dec error: invalid mantissa
	ac3dec error: invalid mantissa
	ac3dec error: invalid mantissa
	ac3dec error: invalid mantissa

after this goes on for awhile, vlc crashes and has to be forcibly killed.

i can play the dvd absolutely flawlessly with xmovie.   the downside with
xmovie is it gets horrible framerates.  vlc is MUCH MUCH smoother.
(although i like being able to simply click on a .ifo file instead of
catting stuff around and piping to vlc).

another odd thing is that it happens for the movie itself (vts_01_?.vob) but
not for the upcoming attractions and trailers (vts_02_?.vob and
vts_03_?.vob).   although maybe the explanation is nothing more than the
movie is more "demanding" than a bunch of trailer clips.

i'm giving a short demo of playing dvd's on linux to my user group tomorrow.
it would be really nice to have this ironed out before then.   :)

can some kind soul give me an explanation of why this is happening and a
fix?  i'd really appreciate it!

thanks!
pete
