           Summary: [resindvd] Allow to specify chapter/title in the DVD

resindvd uses the following URI syntax: dvd://[/path/to/dev]
It is often useful to be able to specify the desired chapter/title of the DVD.
VLC uses the following syntax:

dvd://[<device>][@<raw device>][@[<title>][:[<chapter>][:<angle>]]]

which could be implemented (at least partly, for title and chapter) in the
resindvd player.  For the record, mplayer uses 

dvd://[<title>] with an additional -chapter option

and xine uses a number of syntaxes:
    dvd:/[device_name][/title[.part]]
    dvd:/DVD_image_file[/title[.part]]
    dvd:/DVD_directory[/title[.part]] 
    (use the path of the directory which contains VIDEO_TS) 
which seem invalid URI-wise (it would give dvd://dev/dvd/1.2, while it should
be either dvd:///dev/dvd or dvd:/dev/dvd) and fragile (if someone has the
strange idea to name its DVD device with a number, it cannot be distinguished
from the title part without probing the device first).

The VLC syntax looks like the sanest option.
