Here are the things I have tried along with the results I see happen:
I've installed xine* and ogle* with yum install xine* ogle*. I've also installed libdvd* using yum install libdvd*. I've installed mplayer* using yum install mplayer*.
I created the following link: ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/dvd
Next I mounted the DVD movie with mount /mnt/cdrom. I navigated to /mnt/cdrom/ and tried the following:
The result is garbled video with large gaps of audio. Then I get a pop-up that says: "Your system seems too slow, the amoung (sic) of dropped frames is too high".
I added the following line to my /etc/modules.conf file: options ide-cd dma=1
Then I rebooted and tried again, and have the same result. I verified that DMA was on:
# /sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) BLKRAGET failed: Invalid argument HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
When I try to view the movie using ogle, I get nice sound but no picture at all. When I run ogle --check (as root) I get the following results:
# ogle --check

So in a nutshell, I've tried three different players, and can't play any DVD movies. I sure could use some help about what to try. I've google'd for possibilities to try and tried all that I could find (see above related to yum install libdvd*, and setting DMA), and I'm truly needing some help.
Thanks, Clint
