Is the command "mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/dvd" correct
seeing as mplayer complains about failing to open 'dvd://1' and 'file
not found 1'
Have a look at the mplayer man file. The dvd://1 instruction means to
play the main title on the disc (1) being the default. And -dvd-device
specifying the device (/dev/dvd being the default).
I don't know if the error about dvd://1 is down to it not finding your
DVD drive, or whether you don't have the files installed to play DVDs.
I think you should post us the output from running: ls -al /dev
Thanks Tim

Running mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/scd0 does not work
