I had this problem in the past, too! I usualy managed to view the movie with 
subtitles with recent versions of vlc. From ripping this dvds with 
trancode/dvd::rip I got the impression that the pallette infomration in the 
ifo files was screwed up. (But I don't have the faintest idea how a correct 
ifo file looks like, so this is just a guess!)

If there is interest, I could try to find out which dvds had the problem and 
make the ifos available. 

... I just don't have the faintest idea which dvd(s) it was or if it may play 
correct with recent mplayer now...
