The output doesn't suggest there's a problem with the video output driver. 

[mpegpes] is a special passthrough decoder driver for use with hardware mpeg2 
decoders. It comes first in the order of drivers to be tried for MPEG video, 
but will fail if no such hardware is present. The second decoder driver 
[mpeg12] is the one that's actually used, and it initializes just fine. 
However, the title you're trying to play seems to be just very very short 
(mplayer doesn't currently support DVD navigation menus, it just plays the 
available titles in ascending order, which is not necessarily the correct 
order).

Try playing a different title (for example dvd://2).
