Try running mplayer as root. If it works it means you don't have
proper permissions set up for your dvd device.

If that is the case you need to give users access to your dvd drive.
(Usually /dev/dvd is a symlink that points to your actual device. Do
an ls -la /dev/dvd* to find out what it points to (on mine /dev/dvd ->
/dev/dvd0 -> /dev/hdc) so I would need to change permissions to
/dev/hdc.

So you should be able to do

chmod o+r /dev/hdc

Good Luck
Jeremy
