I can jump from scene to scene (without aio-patch).

Because i never found the nav-patches on the net and
the aio-patches only showed black screen in dvd-mode
i used vdr to replay dvd very rarely.

Maybe i have very special needs, but how do you watch dvd ?

For me it would be optimal if the dvd-replay-behaviour
would be the same as the vdr-replay-behaviour, wich means:

1. progress-display
2. if playback is stopped the next playback-start is at the same point
3. 'jump-to'-function (no 'must' if 2. is there)

Don't missunderstand me: It's really great if vdr can replay dvds,
but why so uncomfortable (vdr showed how comfortable playback can be).
