I've never had a great deal of luck with using mplayer to play DVDs. For one thing, if it ever shows the DVD menu, it only flashes up for a brief moment. You've got to faff around with picking the right title/chapter to play from the mplayer menu.
Probably because MPlayer has never fully supported DVD menus or navigation see: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html Q: What about DVD navigation/menus? A: MPlayer does not support DVD menus due to serious architectural limitations that prevent proper handling of still images and interactive content. If you want to have fancy menus, you will have to use another player like xine, vlc or Ogle. If you want to see DVD navigation in MPlayer you will have to implement it yourself, but be aware that it is a major undertaking -Mauriat
