Over 90% of my DVDs have very strange title settings. As you probably 
know anime DVDs often split then main movie over multiple titles 
(sessions). Sometimes it's really strange: title id 4,7,13,14 for the 
main movie etc... Some DVDs contain over 30 titles, and title 1 
is not the main movie (17 ;). In such cases it's just easier to 
use a menu IMO. But I just use ogle then, as dvdnav in mplayer is 
just not useable and maybe not usefull neither...
