VLC 0.9.9 on Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit

On one movie DVD, the loading takes very long (about one minute).

- I insert the DVD
- I select in VLC "Open Disc...", click "Play" in the dialog (the correct drive letter is selected by default)
- for one minute nothing happen
- then the DVD main menu appears

The messages window at verbosity 2 shows:

access_demux module: 2 candidates
dvdnav debug: trying to go to dvd menu
---here it waits about a minute ---
main debug: thread 5360 (dvdnav event thread handler) created at priority 0 (../../../modules/access/dvdnav.c:352)
main debug: using access_demux module "dvdnav"
main debug: TIMER module_Need() : 93181.004 ms - Total 93181.004 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 93181.000 ms)
main debug: thread started
main debug: `dvd://E:\' successfully opened
dvdnav debug: DVDNAV_HOP_CHANNEL
main debug: control type=1

After that the DVD plays just fine.

Any idea ?
The same DVD works fine with other DVD player SW on same PC.

I would guess that this is dvdnav issue. And I think there isn't any way to solve this easily.
