Current method does not work with all DVDs.

Looks like this code is used to work around some kind of anti-ripping
"DRM" when playing the disc without menus. This could be another reason
to not add it to VLC ...

It is also quite much code. If it is useful for both HB and VLC, it
should probably go to libdvdnav.

Resulting binary is still GPL ? (the plugin is linked against GPLv2+
libdvdnav).

Anyway, GPL wouldn't be problem if the code was added to libdvdnav.
