mplayer: which is the main dvd title


Hi All!

I use MPlayer as my media player, I just love it, but I have a little problem with it. When I want to play a DVD I always have to probe for the main title... If I have luck, the mplayer dvd://1 works, but if the movie is on the 34th title it`s a bit of a wasting of time to find it like:
mplayer dvd://1
.
.
.
mplayer dvd://34

Does anyone know of some options of mplayer which somehow tells me where the movie is?

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance
