Are you using Front Row or the DVD Player app? Prefer the latter myself.

If neither tickles your fancy, try VLC Media Player (www.videolan.org).

Another vote for VLC player. It handles most file types too if you want to play more than dvd's.

I'd recommend using FairMount with VLC as VLC on its own can choke on some dvds. Details here.

+1 VLC plays some unusual formats as well that you might come across in downloads from torrent site s
