Watching DVDs in 5.2

[Benjamin Walkenhorst]

Hello everybody,

I recently installed FreeBSD 5.2 on my Desktop machine. So far I am
very pleased. I tried 5.0 in June, and I did not find it suitable for my
needs, yet. Now the ISDN-card is gone from my machine and TV works in
overlay-mode. =) So I am actually considering to make FreeBSD my primary
OS on my desktop machine.
There are some problems to be solved, though, most pressingly
DVD-playback. ;-/ 
I installed mplayer and ogle via ports. They don't work... 
All I get is the following error message from mplayer:
--------------------------------------------
Playing DVD title 1
Reading disc structure, please wait...
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
Can't open VMG info!
--------------------------------------------

Mmmh... I would like to watch DVDs pretty much, so what can I do? 
I tried reinstalling them, I made sure libdvd* is installed properly...
And, yes, /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to /dev/acd0 which again has chmod
666. 

Some more about the machine:
uname -a:
FreeBSD neuromancer.krylon.net 5.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #2: Mon
Jan 12 18:25:33 CET 2004
root at neuromancer.krylon.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NEUROMANCER i386

relevant parts of /var/run/dmesg.boot:

atapci0: <VIA 82C686B UDMA100 controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f at device
7.1 on pci0 atapci0: Correcting VIA config for southbridge data
corruption bug ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata0: [MPSAFE]
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
ata1: [MPSAFE]

result of 'atacontrol info 1':

Master:      no device present
Slave:  acd0 <LITEON DVD-ROM LTD122/IL5A> ATA/ATAPI rev 0

I'm afraid the problem is more application- or library-related... Who
can give me a hint?

Kind regards,

Thank you very much,

Benjamin
