Comment 39 for bug 1094499

Using libdvdnav 4.2.0-1ubuntu0.1 and vlc 2.0.8-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, I still get this crash with DVD "Shadow Recruit" (at dvdnav_describe_title_chapters(), stack trace says it is under package vlc-nox 2.0.8-0ubuntu0.12.04.1). Also happened with "Madagascar" and several others, although the package may have been updated since then.

BUT, the same crash occurs in VLC 2.0.5 running on Windows XP on a totally different machine. I can't verify the stack trace under Windows, but VLC behaves exactly the same way -- closes itself a few seconds after attempting to open the DVD.

I don't think it's a region issue, both DVD players should be the same region as the DVDs I am playing.

Each time, the DVD works fine under Media Player Classic (for Windows).

It didn't occur to me until recently to try it on Windows. So out of all the problematic DVDs, I've only tried 3 on Windows as well. However, all of those had the same issue under Windows.

Today I updated VLC on Windows to 2.1.3 and the Shadow Recruit DVD no longer crashed.

I hope this may be useful to someone.
