from reading DOCS/DVD and DOCS/DVD-FAQ from mplayer, it would seem as if 
vdr's DVD support, even in its current experimantal state is superior to 
mplayer.

from what i gather from all the DVD & Linux sources, ogle is currently 
the best Open Source player available, but supports only X11 & vgalib 
output. we use ogle's libdvdread which has from all the projects the 
best ifo and vob parsing capabilities.

about the plugins, i think that would be great, but on the other hand, i 
don't have any clue as to how the API into VDR should look like, but 
then maybe we should make VDR a plugin to DTV ???
