Does mplayer.exe dvd://1 (without the GUI) work for you?

My MinGW port (which runs fine with directx vo otherwise) doesn't do
anything (says playing, but ends without any message or action) and the
Cygwin port plays, but doesn't show a video, because it isn't able to use
directx vo (for a reason I currently don't get).

With the Wine port of the GUI (dvd-device pointing to the mounted DVD and
some drive letter tricks) I'm getting the same results (with and without
your patch) you are describing, so I'm confident to be able to fix it.

When playing a DVD with the GUI you should be able to access titles and
chapters by pressing the PREV/NEXT buttons. At least you can do so with the
X11/GTK port, although there are still some minor issues.
