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.
Herewith the output of mplayer dvd:// (this after I created a soft link to device
"sr0" per your suggestion):

MPEG: Missing video stream!? Contact the author, it may be a bug

Now what?
What version of libmpeg2 do you have installed?
rpm -q libmpeg2
libmpeg2-0.5.1-12.fc26.x86_64
Incidentally, though vlc seems hopelessly broken--sound, but no
picture--Dragon Player gives me picture without difficulty, especially
on the new mkv files. So I've verified that MakeMKV works, even when
ripping a Region 2 disk on a Region 1 player. (The "workaround" is
successful; it just seems to take forever, but as long as I read the
message "Operation successfully completed," I can be confident.) The
only other modification I need to try to make, is to crop the picture to
the PAL aspect ratio to eliminate "double letterboxing" on a wide screen.
I realize that vlc is an rpmfusion package, hence no concern of Fedora.
Well, kudos to Fedora for producing a video player (Dragon Player) that
beats vlc in their current iterations! I only wish I knew exactly why.
