This is alledgedly fixed in current Xine CVS. My cheap and nasty 
'solution' to this issue is to set DVDPlayerCommand to:

xterm  -e xine --no-splash -V xv -pfh 
--post=eq2:gamma=1.6,brightness=-.05\;tvtime:method=Greedy,enabled=1,pulldown=none,framerate_mode=half_top,judder_correction=1,use_progressive_frame_flag=1,chroma_filter=1,cheap_mode=0 
dvd://

... The rest of it is because I'm running a projector with a gamma of 
1.6ish and need deinterlacing. You can ignore all that if you want / 
don't have processor time.

Cheers,

Allan.
