After checking mythvideo is installed..
Could pay to check the settings under frontend setup:media
settings:video settings:player settings:

Need to use "Internal" for default & DVD player (note the capital I)..
if this is what you want to use.
The internal DVD player works very well.
The mythtv player use of vdpau feature set C scaling & sharpening for
DVD playback is big step up..
