That proves that this is not a xine problem, but your DVD drive 
obviously cannot read the disc. I would guess that either the disc is 
damaged or your drive has some problems. If you have a lot of DVDs 
playing fine in your drive, I would suggest you bring this disc back to 
the shop and ask for an exchange. You could also ask a friend with a 
different drive to try playing the disc.

Another prove of the above theory.
