MythTV imports the source code of libdvdread/nav into its code base
(./libs/mythlibdvd*).
mythtv0.25+fixes has libdvdread/nav svn1215.
At a chance it does not look like any customizing has been done.

The current release is 4.2.0 (11/2011) & svn1243 last commits Aug2012.
Could be worth trying a rebase to use svn1243..

So could be a cut & paste job or a lot more difficult.
So the average joe might be able to pull it off.
This "average joe" lost interest in watching DVDs (not because of
mythtv).
Learning "git wrangling" could be a challenge, but the worst that
happens is you delete the local git copy & start again.

I note the *buntu repos version of VLC will make use of latest installed
"libdvd*".
HandBrake & MythTV use self contained versions.
