The other thing you might want to do is run mplayer from the command
line and see if any error messages come up on a dvd that skips.

I think the incantation is:

mplayer dvd://n

Where n is the title you want to view (I think mplayer still doesn't do
dvd menus.) 1 is often the main title, but sometimes its a trailer, or
the dolby sound demo or a tedious copyright message, just keep
increasing n until you get the one you want, or use ls -l on the dvd
(you obviously need to mount it to do that) to pick the longest title,
the VOB files are numbered in as semi-human readable format)

If mplayer cannot find your dvd device by itself you can add
-dvd-device=/dev/hdc or whatever

anyway you may get a reasonable error message. I am on the mplayer-users 
mailing list and can feed a question in there if you like.
