Are you using totem? Many folks seem to have problems with it. DISCLAIMER! No personal experience with it on Fedora in years, I'm going by old experience on Ubuntu and what I see on these forums.

I would install the libdvdcss from either atrpms or livna, I don't _think_ it matters which one. Then, install either mplayer or vlc and see if they can handle the DVD.
