I seriously recommend to read the manual.
I'm sorry to say it so bluntly, but you don't seem to have any
idea what you are doing.
Particularly the second command instructs MPlayer to first play
the DVD in the drive via dvdnav and then play the file DVDlambert.udf
as a raw file (which in practice means as an MPEG stream, in particular
it will completely ignore any DVD structure).
The correct syntax here is
dvdnav:// -dvd-device DVDlambert.udf
The reason that clicking does not work is because by default clicking
does not do anything.
You should be able to use the keypad for navigation though.
In particular for dvdnav you should use the options
-nocache -enable-mouse-movements
See also the end of the file etc/example.conf in the MPlayer source
how to have them added by default.
