If the DVD output is scrambled you most likely need
multimedia/libdvdcss. However, don't forget that (from ports/LEGAL):

  multimedia/libdvdcss   CSS code may violate the DMCA

The best way to play DVDs in mplayer is to access them through

  mplayer dvdnav://

This way you will have a full control over DVD menus. Lastly, you can
try multimedia/ogle, which is a DVD-only player and probably handles DVD
menus better than mplayer. Ogle also needs libdvdcss.

Best regards.
