Regarding to the thread "[packman] Nach packman update spielt XBMC keine DVD-Verzeichnisse mehr ab" it's probably more

Since the following packman updates

I can't play DVD folders (VIDEO_TS structure) in XBMC anymore (openSUSE 11.4 x86_64). When selecting a movie to play 
nothing happens (XBMC log file message "WARNING: could not find codec parameters for 
/path_to_movie/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO"). AVIs still play fine. I reproduced the same issue on a 2nd PC (openSUSE 11.3 i586).

I've posted in the XBMC forum (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=104263) and in the opensuse forum 
(http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/462225-xbmc-playback-dvd-folders-broken-after-packman-updates.html). 
The user hahnson has reported the same issue in this thread http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?p=2359636

My assumption is, that the ffmpeg/libav* library update from version 0.6 to 0.7 causes the problem. Unfortunately I've 
none backup of these libraries so can anybody provide the 0.6 version (11.4 x86_64 or 11.3 i586)? This would be a good 
check for the root cause.

Thanks
