It could well be a problem in VLC's IFO parser ( DVDs have *.ifo files which 
contains information about the content of the DVD ). I know that I've got one 
DVD ( Walt Disney's Tarzan, collector's edition Zone 1 ) for which VLC cannot 
understand the ifo files.

You may be able to check that if you enable the debug messages (-vvvvvvv), 
(you can send the log to this list).

But in your case, if the DVD is not scrambled, you should be able to mount 
it, and ask VLC to play the *.vob files (with the File menu).
