Hi,

 > Does the optical drive/disk spin up when you attempt to play it?

Yes, Optical Drive is spinning up. Sometimes it plays as DVD without any 
problems, but sometimes it does not play, only spin up and then turns 
back to menu. It does not depend on protection issues. Actually, I have 
a DVD without any protection that is possible to play with VLC, but not 
with MythTV.

will be built using shared system libraries (libdvdnav/read/css).Your 
MythTV could be self contained or using system libraries depending on 
the source. That might explain the different behaviour.

System is a Linux Mint (a Ubuntu Version) and I've installed VLC and 
MythTV from Software-Center.
