Are you sure this is actually a DVD, and not something weird like a DVD-sized
SVCD? All the DVDs I've seen and heard about can be mounted as either iso9660
or udf. Can you do something like "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null bs=1M count=5"
and not get an I/O error? That command should error out on something like an
SVCD that doesn't have 2048-byte sectors. If dd'ing the first few M actually
works, then the filesystem on the DVD is probably messed up in some way that
this old player can handle, but other things can't.
If this is a VCD-like thing, then vcdxrip may be able to get the video stream
off the device, and mplayer can play VCDs.

Then it's probably not region problems.
