VCD, different behavior

Hi. I'm developing a mplayer frontend (smplayer). I read
that now mplayer on 
windows can play VCDs (vcd://...) so I tested it this
morning with a recent 
mplayer build.

It works, but there are some differences compared to the
linux version.

This is what mplayer under linux (MPlayer
dev-SVN-r25184-3.3.4) says in the 
console output when playing a vcd:

Playing vcd://2.
ID_VCD_START_TRACK=1
ID_VCD_END_TRACK=3
track 01:  adr=1  ctrl=6  format=2  00:02:00  mode: 0
track 02:  adr=1  ctrl=6  format=2  00:15:21  mode: 0
ID_VCD_TRACK_1_MSF=00:13:21
track 03:  adr=1  ctrl=6  format=2  02:07:57  mode: 0
ID_VCD_TRACK_2_MSF=01:52:36
ID_VCD_TRACK_3_MSF=03:41:66

And this is what the windows version (MPlayer
dev-SVN-r24956-4.2.2) says 
(using the same disc):

Playing vcd://2.
ID_VCD_START_TRACK=1
ID_VCD_END_TRACK=3
track 01:  adr=1  ctrl=6  00:02:00
track 02:  adr=1  ctrl=6  00:15:21
ID_VCD_TRACK_1_MSF=00:00:00
track 03:  adr=1  ctrl=6  02:07:57
ID_VCD_TRACK_2_MSF=02:15:21
ID_VCD_TRACK_3_MSF=03:07:57

You see, the length (is the length?) that appears in the
ID_VCD_TRACK_X_MSF 
tags are not the same.

Another difference is that under linux title 1 is played
with vcd://2, and 
title 2 with vcd://3 (vcd://1 doesn't play anything), while
on windows title 
1 is played with vcd://1 and title 2 with vcd://2 (vcd://3
plays nothing).

This different behavior makes that my program doesn't work
as expected when 
playing vcds under windows.

Hmm...I guess this time Windows version is doing the right
thing? Did
u test it on other platforms that support VCD, i.e. Darwin
and
FreeBSD?

I can only test under linux and windows.
Although, reading this http://
www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/vcd.html it seems 
to me that the normal thing is that movies start at vcd://2,
mainly because 
of this text: "As most movies are inside this kind of
track, you should try 
vcd://2 first." 
Anyway this isn't an important issue.
