No.
I have a DVD with no CSS on it, and xine plays if fine at the moment.

If you wish to play content direct from a DVD, you have to try to read 
from the DVD directly, in raw mode, otherwise, when I go to implement 
sector error/scratches handling, it will fail.

The DVD-R must be written in a particular DVD-VIDEO format on a UDF file 
system.
This is because the DVD player will not actually use the file system at 
all to play the DVD, so the underlying sector layout has to be correct 
to DVD specifications.

You have already told us that you wrote it in ISO9660 format, so it is 
never going to work like that.
