Sorry for the changing threads all, it seemed more complete that I responded to this email from Dischi.
When using this new method, it might be prudent to edit /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mmpython/disc/lsdvd.py and change LSDVD_EXE='lsdvd' To pint directly to the output of which lsdvd Mine now reads: LSDVD_EXE='/usr/bin/lsdvd' And my DVD's are being recognised again with the latest snapshot of mmpython.

My new Finding Nemo DVD has the same problem: insert it, it's a cd and this error is cached forever :-(. But if I remove the cache and try again, it's a DVD. If I insert a different DVD and the strange DVD later and remove the cache, it's a cd again. This bug is somewhere in libdvdread. I tried to find it, ifoOpen fails with a read error (also shown in /var/log/messages). I have no idea why this happens only when the disc is new in the drive. I also found out that lsdvd works for some reason. I compared the code -- no differences at this point (in fact, it's only DVDOpen and ifoOpen). If someone can find this bug, please send a patch to the list. As a quick solution and also for runtime users I made something which is bad for the original mmpython design: I wrote a lsdvd wrapper for mmpython. If you have problems with some discs, install lsdvd and get mmpython from cvs. Dischi -- /* After several hours of tedious analysis, the following hash * function won.
