This may be an unrelated fix, but it's helped me a few times.

Proper software decoding of DVD/CSS content may require that the DVD-ROM
be accessed via DMA (Direct Memory Access), and in most Linux distros
this is not enabled by default (not for optical drives, anyway).
Without DMA in place a lot of odd errors can occur.

With root privileges, try running 'hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb', replacing
/dev/hdb with the designation of your DVD-ROM.  Then try watching a
commercial DVD again.

If this fixes it then I'll tell you how you can make the change permanent.
