Dave, I believ that is an issue with the way mplayer handles DVD's.  Xine
seems to play DVD's fine, but I've had the same issue as I use mplayer. 
This is document on the mplayer web site.  My work around is to go into the
DVD Ripping section of MythTV, and select the title I want to play, and play
it from there.  Not as nice as straight through the menu, but it works.

HTH,
Jeff.
