    Try VLC player which has support for DVDs.
    Get it with: sudo apt-get install vlc
    Then open it,click on file -> open media and there select your drive.
    Now your DVD should play fine.

    I encountered same problem now. Same DVD disc can work in Windows power DVD but cannot work in either Smplayer or VLC in Linux.
