I assume that you are using an ATAPI DVD drive. Make sure that the sysctl hw.ata.ata_dma is set to '1'. Also make sure that the output plugin is using XVideo. > BTW, is vlc the best choice for watching DVD or there are better ones? vlc is known to be a bit slow. ogle is pretty good in terms of speed, and it supports menus, though it's UI is not as nice as vlc. xine apparently supports menus also, but it does not play encrypted DVD's out-of-the-box.
