@bill, The version from mplayer is not a fork. They have taken over the development of libdvdread. And a quick grep for DVDREAD_VERSION in the current source reveals that this string is defined but not used anywhere. So I don't think it is significant.
As far as the functionality goes, the upstream changelog claims that there have been many bug fixes. So I don't see a reason not to use it. Do you have any particular reason against the transition? -- Merge libdvdread 4.x from Debian unstable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330684 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-ugly0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
