pluggers,

for the heck of it  i tried running mplayer from command line and i
got a more detailed error:

i seem to be getting 2 different errors one of them harmless and one a
bit more harmful to the playback of the dvd.

mplayer dvd://2 

gives:

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

BTW a lot of ppl want to know if dma is on so here is hdparm:

[root@localhost mikeaz_laptop]# /sbin/hdparm /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 geometry     = 65535/16/63, sectors = 60011642880, start = 0
[root@localhost mikeaz_laptop]#


ok it says in the error message that I should try -ni for avi files.
So I tried it.
mplayer dvd://2 -ni and got the same error

then i figured i typed it wrong: so tried

mplayer -ni dvd://2

it played longer but still gave the same error

Too Many Video Packets in the Buffer

Any suggestions?
