Hang on, is that code from the libdvdnav (or -devel) main package, or from the
subpackage libdvdread{-devel}?  If it's from the libdvdread package (which it
looks like from your example), then that's already been approved (as a separate
package) and is already in Fedora:

$ rpm -q libdvdread
libdvdread-0.9.7-3.fc8

if it passed there, then it should be a matter of checking the code in the
libdvdnav package.
