I have found out some thing new about the format of HODOG20.DAT.

The first 4 bytes of the file is the number of songs on the DVD (in my case 30926)

In my HODOG20.DAT, The table of contents starts at address 0x2640.
In my file it is exacly 30926 entrys (starting at address 0x2640) of the format:

xx yy yy yy [Songtitle]

where:

xx is the Length of the entry
yy some kind of language code
zz zz is a number I yet haven't discovered the meaning of
And the rest of the entry contains a string (ASCII for english) with the songtitle.

In an other version of HOTDOG20.dat from another DVD I find:
+ 30534 songs (first 4 bytes of HOTDOG20.dat)
+ Exactly 30534 song entrys starting from adress 0x25E0.


Remaining questions:
+ How to interpret zz zz.
+ How to interpret the data from 5th byte until start of TOC.
+ How to interpret the data after the TOC
