What??? I thought that mplayer would just work around the region code
hardware bug...
At least it does so for my laptop dvd drive (the one in my pc is still
from region free times).

For me it looks like the format is unsupported by libdvdread but I am
not a expert. Did you configure with --disable-mpdvdkit? If you did, 
try upgrading libdvdread, I'd suggest. Might work or not, its just
a idea.
