I used to have a button in the main menu that exec'd mplayer for DVD's,
but I found a better way (imho)

Add this to mythvideo-settings.txt

dvd_helper=/usr/bin/mplayer -alang en -ao alsa9 -vo xv -dvd 1 -cache
4096

and on the profile_movies= line add dvd.

Now go to you video storage directory and create a Symlink called
someting like "Play a DVD.dvd"

fire up Mythvideo and select the link (with a dvd in the drive)

Enjoy your DVD...

:D
