Update tells to regenerate vs? how? I mean, update and rerender sound 
very same method names to me.

There's no need for that because WindowAnimation is basicly 3 methods, 
i.e., rerender, animate and switchVS. There is no need to say in method 
name that the two last are similar. Why? Because to do anything with 
libvob, you need to understand the mechanism how it works and if user 
understands how animation is done between 2 vobscenes, the user 
understands also the difference between these 3 methods.

Not true, it depends of the application. I think in fenpdf rerender is 
the most common case.
