I would like to get the dvdread and dvdnav patches merged as DVD 
playback is broken in Windows UCRT builds (using llvm-mingw). It was 
always broken so it may not be a blocker. But since there won't be a 
release in a while and this patch is almost ready...

This one is pending for 3.0

And we will need this one in 3.0 once it's merged
