you have to enable dma on your dvd, redhat doesn't turn it on by default
PS: this can (temporarily fuck your system up)
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hda ( for hard drive )
/sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hda ( for cd-rom drive )
here is a page about this stuff

Subject: [ILUG] xine-check 'hints'
Hi,
playing dvds in xine in linux on my laptop is noticeablt slower than
playing the smae dvd through windows.
xine-check produces the following hints.
I have looked into them, and I can't find out how to fix them.
I have an Advent 6417 laptop running SuSE 7.3, with XF86 4.1.0
Any ideas on how to fix these issues?
Thanks
Conor
[ hint ] Your X server doesn't support YUV overlays.
That means xine will have to to color space transformation and
scaling
in software, which is quite CPU intensive. Maybe upgrading your
X server will help here.
If you have an ATI card, you'll find accelerated X servers on

XVideo is an X server extension introduced by XFree86 4.x. This
extension provides access to hardware accelerated color space
conversion and scaling, which gives a great performance boost.
If you have a fast (>1GHz) machine, you may be able to watch all
kinds of video, anyway. You will waste lots of CPU cycles,
though...
