I downloaded,  compiled and installed the svn of libdvdnav and mplayer.
I used 'dvdnav:////dev/dvd ' as the device to play from.

Got the same results. The menu is displayed but the movie is a mess.
The dvds were made on a panasonic dvd recorder. As I recall when the dvd 
starts to initialize on the panasonic that it displays 'video ram'. Could 
that be the problem?
