So you're running mplayer as root. OK.

What is the output of command 'ls -l /dev/cdroms/cdrom1' ?
Are you sure that cdrom1 is your DVD drive you're using?

Hmmm, it's quite strange. What type of kernel/OS is it?

Btw, you should use the new DVD support in mplayer instead of the old one.
Install libdvdread and recompile mplayer. For more information, read the
htmlized document (I am not sure it's in the last stable release - I'm using
only CVS versions - so use CVS snapshots or get the latest source tree with
CVS).
