Ok, sorry for not checking first. Sending this link has seemingly become
second nature when seeing "DVD does not play".

Can you run vlc from the command line with the "--verbose <integer>"
switch (verbosity = 0,1, or 2), then play the DVD? This might give hints
in the command line output.

FWIW, Intrepid's vlc runs fine here.
