 What color depth are you running X in?  I recall having severe problems 
playing any sort of video in 24-bit color, so then I changed to 16-bit and I 
have no problems.  I do notice that when playing most videos the colors of my 
desktop background get messed up, but I consider that a trivial problem and 
ignore it.  (In a couple of hours the background changes, anyway.)

 If you run "xine --verbose dvd://" in a command window, do you get any 
helpful information about what it's doing or where it quits?
