Crashing on Menu clicks :(

[RandomSpammer]

The contents of the bug report below are what I originally did at this forums of which directed me here.

The problem: Start playing the disc. Get to the root menu. Click on a "button" inside the movie (ie to navigate somewhere on the disc). Illegal Operation caused by the DVD codec for VLC (libdvdplay_plugin.dll), and windows promptly tells VLC to bite the dust. I can replicate this error with these discs without failure. To proove it to be not all discs, I used my Ghost in the Shell R1 (note: I'm in R4) DVD, and menu's are no problem. I also have some R0 discs that also do not replicate this error. I also would like to say that if I manually move to a submenu on the DVD (like jumping to Title 5 Chapt. 1 which contains the "extras" menu of the DVD) navigation is fine. Once I hit the root menu however, the bug can be replicated.

Version/s of VLC:0.61, 0.71, 0.72.

Discs known: Someday's Dreamer's 1, 2 and 3. These are releases done by anime distobutor Madman.

Specs and details of my machine: Athlon XP2500, 512MB RAM, 9600XT, 80+120Gb disks on IDE0, LG 16x DVD-ROM on IDE1. Currently Running XP SP1, most critical patches. More information about my drive can be found here (note: that "Stealth DVD" is just Daemon tools. Ignore it.)

At this point in time I cant dump you what technicals about what windows says about the illegal operation, however it does blame libdvdplay_plugin.dll for the cause. I also havent tested this problem on any other machines, or other drives. As soon as I can get more info as to just wtf is going on to the letter, I'll either edit this, or bump thread and let you know. If you request further information about the discs, my setup, or other things that I have missed, let me know.
