I beliieve that this bug #686250 is duplicated by the fixed #688574 (not in wheezy, alas). I was readily able to observe a crash in DVD_Open when using vlc on a directory containing a copy of the contents of a DVD when I ran with 4.2.0+20120521-2 but not when I ran with 4.2.0+20130219-1, and the traceback I captured in gdb for the former version was implicating DVD_Open.
However, I'm not sufficiently versed in debian bug tracker etiquiette to go ahead and change the bug metadata accordingly. Thank you for your time, Jeff
