Freevo and DVD crash

[Matthew Carpenter]

Sorry to report that this only affects the dxr3 decoder card, which I don't have.  My problem seems more to do with identifying the DVD, as the crash happens immediately after inserting the DVD and the crash trace shows it occurring during the "dvdinfo" method...

But I'll keep searching.  Thanks.
