For kicks, I tried a different DVD, and it worked !...Reason why I 
didn't think of trying this first was that the faulty DVD plays fine in 
xine.  That still doesn't solve the problem completely, though;  Why 
does this one DVD play on other players (on freebsd and other OS 
players), but not on mplayer.   Perhaps some security/copyright decoding 
of some sort that xine is doing that mplayer is not  ?
