In navigation mode (menus etc.) I would recommend using the right,left,up,
down and ok-button, since I really have problems when navigating via the
number-buttons. As the fast forward/rewind buttons don't really make sense
in a menu, this wouldn't break the "standard"-vdr-interface.

What I really like about the old dbox are it's options menus. I think this
could
be useful for dvd-replay too. So only one button for the option-menu and
within
the option menu, you can navigate with the arrow-buttons (and ok) and select
language and subtitles.

I haven't tested your last patch, but is there an information about total
number
of chapters in this title?
