That's correct. It's just a simple menu and two video clips.

I have now copied the entire contents of the disc to /Multimedia/dvdtest/
I tried running xine in two ways:
xine -p dvd://Multimedia/dvdtest/
xine -p dvd://Multimedia/dvdtest/video_ts/

(For some reason the CAPS-filenames on the DVD was translated to
low-caps...)

The effect of both commands was a working DVD-image. Both video and the
menu worked as intended. But xine still tries to access my DVD-ROM drive.
I heard noices from it. Here is the output without a DVD-disc present in
the DVD-ROM drive:

libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1-beta11 from http://xine.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.6 for DVD access
libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device.
libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00c00000. Regions: 1
2 3 4 5 6

With the disc present, using the same command as above, I got this output:

libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1-beta11 from http://xine.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.6 for DVD access
libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device.
libdvdread: Invalid main menu IFO (VIDEO_TS.IFO).
libdvdnav: vm: faild to read VIDEO_TS.IFO

No menu, no video. This is odd! :)
