Make sure you have DMA enabled on that drive, although you should already have jerky video if that where your only issue.
Check gentoo forums for some of your errors - even if you aren't using gentoo musch of the advice appiles to the packages.

Yes - its a nasty can of worms.
I've got a standard IDE DVDROM drive (cos it was about $15 more expensive than a new CDROM drive) and I can't get it to play DVDs.
The machine is a celeron 1Ghz with a budget motherboard, via chipset, and trident graphics. The DVD is slave on the second IDE bus (/dev/hdd) with an HP CDRW as /dev/hdc
I've tried xine, mplayer, ogle, etc. as players, and lsdvd and dvdbackup to simply read some info.
I can mount a CDROM fine. I can mount a DVD fine too, but some chapters don't read. For example:
tramadol:/dvd/VIDEO_TS# file * ... VTS_02_5.VOB: MPEG system stream data VTS_02_6.VOB: ERROR: cannot read `VTS_02_6.VOB' (Input/output error) ...
Showing the disk is mounted. /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd 7.7G 7.7G 0 100% /dvd
One thought was that there was no region set, so I set it to zone 4 using regionset, but that made no difference.
Most errors look similar to this, so I suspect the problem lies with libdvdcss and friends.
tramadol:~# lsdvd libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.5 for DVD access libdvdread: Can't seek to block 256 libdvdread: Can't seek to block 256 libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. Can't open main ifo!
Does anyone have any advice / thoughts / etc ?
