Just blame xine-0.4.0 :-(

Please open xineDevice.c, locate the following function and comment out the 
first if statement completely.

  int cXineDevice::PlayVideo(const uchar *Data, int Length)
  {
    /* if (Length >= 4)
    {
      if (0x00 == Data[ 0 ]
          && 0x00 == Data[ 1 ]
          && 0x01 == Data[ 2 ]
          && 0xbd == Data[ 3 ])
      {
        static char anim[] = "Oo._.o";
        static unsigned int cnt = 0;

        fprintf(stderr, "\b%c", anim[ cnt++ ]);
        if (cnt >= (-1 + sizeof (anim)))
          cnt = 0;

        // a private stream is not intended to be sent this way.
        return Length;
      }
    } */

I'll try to find a better solution for release 0.4.1. I've added the code to 
work around an issue of vdr-dvd: for any reason, some audio streams are fed to 
both functions PlayAudio() and PlayVideo(), which confuses xine and leads to 
stuttering video playback.

Bye.
