Most DVD are encrypted, and I believe that's why you can't see them. I think Mandrake mplayer's packages don't include dvdCSS which is necessary to read those DVDs (legal issues).
In order to read those DVDs, you can uninstall mplayer packages you have installed, and try these from Penguin Liberation Front: http://plf.zarb.org/
Or, if there are too much dependencies issues, try to compile mplayer from source. 


AFAIK you don't need dvdCSS to watch encrypted DVDs with mplayer.
Better try to compile from source.


Yes, I know, but what I meant is that Mandrake may have removed this code from mplayer for legal issue.
