I haven't followed this thread from the beginning,
but this are my suggestions:

mplayer dvd://1 
should play fine the dvd on SUSE.

MPlayer uses /dev/dvd as default device for DVD so,
the previous command is exactly equivalent to:
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/dvd

The sequence of commands:

mount /media/dvd
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /media/dvd

doesn't work if the DVD is encrypted.

About YOUR problem, as someone else has suggested,
the true error is:

> libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
> Can't open VMG info!

This usually means that the DVD has been poorly authored.
A hardware DVD player may be able to play the disk, 
but a software player usually fails.

The verify this theory, try another DVD disk.

Another reason for the previous error message
is a bad/corrupted download (if you have downloaded
the DVD content).

Is your DVD disk a pressed one or a bourned one?
