This is based strictly on the manufacturers of the dvd. The number
signifies the title number. If it isn't the first one you usually have
to play around to find the right one. I have found the pressing the
dvd button in the gui usually works, but I assume that most my dvds
are dvd://1.

The only way I can think of for an autodetect is to write a shell
script to perform it.

Use lsdvd then grep the output for the largest title, then throw that
title in as an arguement to mplayer.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I prefer the dvd menus, and mplayer
is still in it's infancy stage as far as dvd menus, so I don't use it
all that much.
