I'm having problems with MPlayer and DVD playback. Well, playback does get started but it hangs after a few seconds and in different locations.

My first attempt was with an allregion dvd, and I just don't get past the "warning" screen. ;)

My next attempt was with "The Family Guy" Volume One Disk 1. It starts playing but then it crashes in various spots.

Another attempt was with the newly released KiKi's Delivery Service (no, it's not porn. :P). The furthest I've managed to get that one to work the blue Studio Ghibli screen.

I've got the DVD Drive hooked up as the master on the secondary channel via an 80-pin IDE cable.

ideas?
