Not to my knowledge, unfortunately (although I only played a bit with it 
to see if the DVDs were played correctly) it always uses the 
DVDnavigation mode, so I'm not sure how to get it to play title 1 or 
so..., and I'm also more at a loss as how to dump the stream.

The situation gets worse and worse every DVD. With the 3 missing 
Seinfeld Seasons I'm absolutely sure they'll have this CP, and other 
DVDs from Sony also have these (last I found was Layer Cake, 
unfortunately nowhere mentioned on the cover/backcover).

Cheers,
