User is in the proper groups:
I did encounter this after I upgraded from woody to sarge (new HD and clean install). I used to be able to play DVDs (with mplayer) and then in sarge, the first time I tried, I couldn't. All this time, I had been able to use mplayer (in sarge) to play all kinds of video from the HD. I checked with aptitude and it turned out that libdvdcss wasn't installed. I installed it and I can now play DVDs. But for a while mplayer didn't work with other video from the HD. Then magically, it started working again. So, check that you have libdvdcss installed.
