I seem to remember needing this for some screen options, but not that I am
running mplayer under X the problem may have gone away.

I have seen both dvd ID's and titles, for instance:

according to vobcopy:
title: SCHOOL_OF_ROCK_16X9

so ~/.mplayer/SCHOOL_OF_ROCK_16X9.config seems like a good idea.

What would be handy: an mplayer option to create the file using the current
settings (defaults, global config, local config and command line options) using
the current dvd to generate the file name.  mplayer
dvd://1 -fs -CreateConfigForDVD  (may need a better option name...)

I think it would be handy for debugging too - that would let you see exactly
what options mplayer is trying to use.
