Never liked gmplayer, it tends to crash on my system, while mplayer
itself has no problems at all. But to your question, I would sincerely
check my DVD drive, I also had problems exactly like yours, the
problem was a dying DVD drive that could not read some discs, and even
those discs seem to be readable once in a while... Let me ask you, is
this a notebook or laptop?
