I have state it before and can only repeat it here, the problem you are seeing 
is caused by the incomplete/brocken/naive/<what ever you like to call it> 
IFrameAssembler implementation in dvd-player.c and I WILL NOT FIX IT.

To get the menu background right, the complete preceding I-Frame needs to be 
extracted from the datastream. And i mean NOT the PES packets containing the 
I-Frame, but the MPEG data themselfs and only the MPEG data need to be 
extracted from the PES packets and a complete valid I-Frame needs to be send 
to the DVB driver.
You and anyone else is welcome to investigate this and provide a solution. It 
might be easy, it might be very complicated, i don't know and again I WILL 
NOT WORK ON THIS, somebody else has to do it.

Andreas
