I was in fact using gmplayer.  Your command above is able to play 2
out of 4 of the DVDs just like gxine, and it fails much more
gracefully than gxine on the other 2.

I thought gmplayer was just a UI for mplayer.  Why would mplayer play
what gmplayer can't?  Is there a better UI for mplayer than gmplayer?
