Which Distro? Does the DVD drive get recognized as a CDROM, at the very least? Do you need to execute mount /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/dvd, or some such? What does /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab, and lilo.conf have to say about the device? Xmovie works for me on DVDs, and I was about to suggest it, but you tried that already. Sounds like the DVD gets recognized, but the files are not associated.... Launch Xmovie and snooping around in Xmovie should get you to the DVD drive.
