If it is going to be playable, put it in the drive, tell xine to play the DVD by klicking on the button labelled 'DVD', then use the menus. ISTR that all is not as it seems with the 'files' on a DVD, and that these symptoms with e.g. 'cp' are normal.
You do have libdvdcss (for the encoded content) and libdvdread (to navigate the menus, I think) ? I see kriss recommends mplayer - no doubt a perfectly fine project, but it shouldn't be necessary for a regular DVD.
