I installed xine. First of all it solved the problem of the green line 
that runs across the bottom of the frame. I tried running the original 
dvd which is Whale Rider I checked out from the library. It gets trough 
all the legal notices but then stops
with error The source can't be read. maybe you don't have enough rights 
for this or source doesn't contain data (eg not disc in drive) (Error 
reading NAV packet)

This is what the terminal showed with alot more Get Key  messages

libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access

Then I tried watching the beginning Harry Potter and Its A wonderful 
Life they seem to work fine.

Also yes this is an AMD-64 bit machine
