Yes. I have a DVD that is unprotected and that plays fine.

I got a ton of errors from mplayer but I'm not sure I ever got mplayer to play 
DVDs.

I should think it's not actually xine itself causing the problem, but rather 
something deeper in the media set-up.

In case it's relevant which it might not be, I am also seeing frequent problems 
playing video in flash on youtube etc in iceweasel. I have to restart the 
browser to fix it.
