I know what it's like to have that viewpoint, and i have it myself about 
some stuff I do, but if something is technically wrong, how can it be so 
happily ignored?

You asked how to do it, the length of a given DVD track is here:

ifo->vts_pgcit->pgci_srp[ifo->vts_ptt_srpt->title[ttn_number].ptt[0].pgcn-1].pgc->playback_time

Oh i love C structures!
