Just give that a try. What could you lose? You may even read the man page on mplayer. I've never had to give much in the way of other options unless I was doing something "exotic". FWIW, even though the laser in my DVD player is dead I still get....

Contact the author, it may be a bug :( The vlc program gives me sound, but no picture--so no way to navigate the menu. However, MakeMKV produces a good DVD video--sound and picture--exactly what I would expect. The test disk is a studio-issued special edition of Fiddler on the Roof (1971), for Region 1.
