The fact that you"ve got the xvideo plugin for vlc doesn't mean you can use 
xvideo. You also need to have the Xvideo extension supported by your 
Xfree86 (Xwindow). Your best bet for this would be to install one of the 
latest Xfree86 (4.1.0 or 4.2.0). There's a little program (xvinfo) shipped 
with Xfree86 which can tell you if Xvideo is supported.

This has been fixed and the next release will include the fix :)

Basically you need to make sure your drive is using DMA.
hdparm -d 1 /dev/cdrom
