Thanks for the dll. I will try it today.

On my system I have these DVD menu freezes too. But in my case thay happen almost all the time with some DVDs. When it freeze - e.g. there is only black screen, I can still stop the DVD, but only within some time. After that time the MP freeze totally and I have to kill it.

In addition, I have the freezes also with non-still menus. For example I jump into DVD menu, that renders fine. However like crholm if I select "play movie" from that menu, I often get only black screen with playing sound. I have tried ffdshow, which triggers this almost everytime. With PDVD decoder it is not so frequent, but still unusable.

    Eureka!! That did the trick. DVD menus are now working as good as ever, with the new dll:s :D:thx

    Edit: I was to fast in my happiness. With the new core.dll I get a black screen when resuming from standby.
    DVD navigation works thoug, with just dshowhelper.dll replaced.

    Only way out from the black screen is Ctrl+Alt+Del, and log out. Cant kill MP any other way.

    For the ones who can reproduce this issue, please try the attached DLLs and let me know if this fixes the navigation problems. As I cannot reproduce it, it's the first try of a blind fix.

    :D

    Replaced core.dll and dshowhelper.dll with EVR enabled and DVD menus are working as they should again!

    Using FFDshow for video & audio

    Regards

    This could be an issue with the current SVN version I build the DLLs upon as it is work in progress. I try to reproduce it later this week.

    I'll clean up the code I added and provide you guys with a 2nd set of DLLs later today that should work identical. It's just better code and some other stuff cleaned up. If these work ok, I'll commit the change for RC2.

    Here's a cleaned up version of the last fix.

    If you guys could please be so kind and give it another test. I really appreciate your testing efforts. If this fixes the navigation issues as well I can commit the fix to the SVN repository.

    Edit: Fix removed as newer version is available
