It seems that you use libdvdread and libdvdcss in order to access DVDs. 
usually mplayer uses it own libmpdvdkit, which is in the source that can 
be downloaded from the web site. try to recompile mplayer and check if 
you see these lines:
Checking for DVD support (libmpdvdkit) ... yes
Checking for DVD support (libdvdread) ... disabled by libmpdvdkit2
while doing  /.configure.
Once libmpdvdkit is enabled, you should be able to acces your DVDs 
without any problem (at least I have never had any myself).

Hope that helps.

JiHO.
