	I have narrowed the problem down to a loop in the 

		int mov_check_file(demuxer_t* demuxer)

	routine.  The last message that is seen from 'mplayer -v -vcd 2' is:

	VCD start byte position: 0x1546E0  end: 0x670C76C
	Checking for YUV4MPEG2
	ASF_check: not ASF guid!
	Checking for NuppelVideo
	Checking for MOV

	is "Checking for MOV".   Using gdb I've seen that no return is
	ever made from 'mov_check_file' if a VCD/SVCD is in the drive.

	There is a comment in libmpdemux/demux_mov.c that was not present
	a while ago:

		else if (len == 0) /* deleted chunk */
		{
		    /* XXX: CJB! is this right? - alex */
		    goto skip_chunk;
		}
		else if(len<8) break; // invalid chunk

	Could this be leading to an endless loop somehow?  

	Cheers,
