Hi all,

I've recently purchased the Dark Knight DVD. Upon inserting it into my 
Freevo system, Freevo crashed.

Trying to play it in mplayer, the movie never starts. After googling a 
bit, I found out these DVDs are protected by some stupid safety. An easy 
workaround for mplayer is adding -sb 2500000 to the mplayer (seek 
2,500,000 bytes into the DVD) skips over the copy protection code and 
allows playing the DVD properly. So I have my solution for playing it in 
Freevo (adding the -sb 25000000 to all DVD doesn't skip much (you might 
miss the FBI Warning, that's all so I don't mind putting that command 
for all DVDs). But why does Freevo crash when I insert this DVD? Anybody 
else have this problem?
The logs don't seem to show anything of interest.
