Aaah thnx for the hint, now at least one problem (no total length) vanished. I
guess sync and crash problems were also caused by this, if dvd was handled as
a stream, no wonder there was no total length :-)

However, position/length is still calculated incorrectly. e.g. "Das Boot",
which is one of the DVDs I test it, on has according to the cover total length
of about 208 minutes. However, vlc claims 1st side is 3690 seconds, 2nd 2923,
which makes a total of about 110 minutes. The position indicator is
progressing too slowly.
