mplayer plays DVD as if there is a lot of mpeg2 damage (with a lot of colored squares) [version 0.99.10_14 and 1.0rc2 on FreeBSD]

[yuri@…]

I have a DVD title "Paycheck", 2003, region 1.

When I try to play it with command:

mplayer dvd:// -sid 0 -vo xv -alang english -dvd-device /dev/acd0

I see a lot of squares with some content mixed up in them as if it's a damaged MPEG. See log below and log with '-msglevel all=9' attached.

When I create a backup copy on hard drive with the command

dvdbackup -o . -M -i /dev/acd0

I can play the resulting DVD directory without a problem:

mplayer dvd:// -sid 0 -aid 128 -vo xv -dvd-device /my/dvd/dir

But when I create an ISO image from this directory:

mkisofs --dvd-video -o /my/dvd/iso.iso /my/dvd/dir

and mount this iso as a directory I can't play this ISO again with the same problems.

Same problems on both 0.99.10 and 1.0rc2.
Title plays ok on a hardware Sony DVD player.

I can borrow this DVD any time again to do more testing.

can you try with a newer mplayer and mplayer dvdnav:// ?
dvdnav:// works on some protected discs when dvd:// fails...
