Yes it's that prog. And you're right: the concept is absolutely ugly but
it worked for me after one weekend and my children were happy :-)

Yes, my intention was to combine the good replay feature in MPlayer 
with some nice display features in VDR. But you already mentioned the
problems in language and subtitle changing during replay in mplayer.

Ok, you got me!!! I agree that a working DVD plugin is a much better target 
than hacking some extensions. I believe a working DVD replay is much more 
complex than reading some title information. Anyway I'll try to understand 
the code of the DVD plugins the next days.
