Ok!

If I compile the latest version of mplayer, every DVD is readed 
successfully!
Now the issue stands for make actualization of the internal DVD reader 
for MythTv, please, any one can tell me how to do it?
Since is better integration then the external app reader.


By the way I already did compiled libmpeg2, libdvdread, libdvdnav.

Thanks!
Tomas
