MythTV's internal player isn't perfect for DVDs. Assuming you're still 
on MythTV 0.20.2, you might want to try again with 0.21, although that 
still has some bugs for me. Once you're on the latest stable release you 
can try reporting bugs with specific DVDs on trac. If you're saying that 
you have this problem with *every* DVD then post here, as you probably 
have a problem with your system.

Cheers,

John
