Try smplayer

Sounds like a classic lack of system resources or bad configuration.
  • Try running your player from a command line. Maybe the player will spew out error or problems that you can then act on
  • Make sure your DVD disk drive has DMA enabled. Otherwise it may be having trouble feeding the video file to the player quick enough. Run hdparm to find out.

possibly the dvd is dirty ?

maybe playing from harddrive will be faster:
Code:
lsdvd && dd if=/dev/sr0 of=moo-vee.iso
mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device moo-vee.iso
