Comment 24 for bug 377414

I'm unable to play "Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon" with what looks like a similar failure, whilst Movie Player is able to play the disk (Totem 3.0.1 with 0.10.35 gstreamer on ubuntu). Version info for vlc and libdvdnav and log below.

cefn@cefn-dell-oneiric:~$ vlc --version
VLC media player 2.0.0 Twoflower (revision 2.0.0-0-g421a4fc)
VLC version 2.0.0 Twoflower (2.0.0-0-g421a4fc)

Here's a console log from the GUI when I try to open the DVD direct (similar experience with an iso image). I upgraded to a newer VLC version using ppa:bdrung/backports. That gives me libdvdnav 4.2.0-1~oneiric1~ppa1 which I've combined with vlc 2.0.0-6~ppa1 . Trying to play the video gives the log below with the last lines, (or very similar lines) seeming to run forever and ever.
