Problems playing DVD on I8200

I have a Dell I8200 with a combo DVD(8X)/CDRW(24X) drive in the unit. I have Gentoo 1.4 with KDE 3.03 installed. I can use xcdroast with no problem. I've installed mplayer and ogle but I get similar errors, I'll just concentrate on mplayer for now. The command I use to start it is:

mplayer -vo xv -gui

That brings up the mplayer gui, I then goto /mnt/cdrom and try to load a *.vob file and mplayer exits. Here is the output for mplayer:

I do have sound installed but that's about the only thing I understand from the above log. This is the very first time I've tried playing DVD's thru Linux in my Laptop. I haven't changed or added anything in the mplayer logs file.

I forgot to mention, I also have scsi emulation complied into the kernel.

MPlayer works with ide-scsi in my I8200 without problems, just link /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd and run:

mplayer -gui -dvd 1 -alang (your language)
