What type of video card do you have?

I had a problem like this, you can check the archives.  I was using nvidia card and the default Fedora 10 was using noveaou driver.  Everytime I tried to play a DVD, I got the exact same message.  I installed nvidia driver from rpmfusion and kmod/akmod package(s) and problem was solved for me.  

Hope this helps in some way.
