Try VLC player which has support for DVDs.
Get it with: sudo apt-get install vlc
Then open it,click on file -> open media and there select your drive.
Now your DVD should play fine.

I encountered same problem now. Same DVD disc can work in Windows power DVD but cannot work in either Smplayer or VLC in Linux.
