DVD's probably bad. Macs tend to be a bit more anal about bad discs and bad memory.

That's my guess (based on similar experiences through Netflix and my own blank CD-R/CD-RWs).

What kind of DVD is it? A Video DVD (must be the case, since you say that you can see it on your DVD player). Have you tried it out in other computers? Does the disc look somehow scratched or damaged?

You could try to find a computer where it works and make a copy of it there.
