-cdvdGigaherz (3429) 0.8.0 <-tired also loading from original DVD directly, but 
crashes earlier, so I made an Image (Blindwrite 6 & Daemon Tools)

5) Please provide any additional information below.
I have tried different revisions bevor, but none worked, the revisions bevor 
0.9.7.3113 or so didn't even load the movie
