I most often do a binary copy of the DVDs rather than a "rip". And then 
play the binary copy of the dvd. Something like:

 > dd if=/dev/dvd of=/tmp/copy_of.dvd bs=2048
 > xinev --auto-scan dvd dvd:///tmp/copy_of.dvd/

Or you may do that at a friend's house where you know his setup works.

Can you play DVDs with just regular xine? Outside of Myth? With Mplayer?

That may help you separate whether it is a DVD hardware problem or a 
xine software problem.... I actually had hardware problems that went 
away when I replaced the physical DVD drive...
