Thinking about what you said, I realised that you may be testing with 
commercially burned disks, while I was testing with home-burned disks.  To my 
surprise xine opened an old commercially burned disk without a problem (old, 
non-encrypted - I haven't tried an encrypted one).  That leads me to wonder 
whether these latest versions of video-players are actually looking for 
something that is present in a commercially burned disk but not in one 
created by dvdauthor.

This changes the situation completely.
