Works for me.

I'm running Mandrake Cooker - but I don't remember having problems with
it for quite a long time. No special stuff or actions required. But
maybe check my page at http://mr.uue.org/gnulinux/t20/, though I'm not
sure if it helps.

Did you test with any other movies like video cds or DivX/XviD? Are they
running OK? If they are OK, you could try copying a small part from a
DVD to your hard disk and see if it runs OK as well.

If you're brave enough, you could also try updating to Mandrake 9.1rc2 -
or wait for some days until 9.1 is released and try again.
