I've heard good things about mplayer; I think there are some unofficial
debs available, but the official line is that you should compile it
yourself for best performance. http://mplayer.nmeos.net/ has directions
and apt repositories for installing mplayer on Debian.
I don't think I've tried an encrypted DVD yet, but it did work nicely
with the DVD of our wedding video (which I'm assuming is not encrypted).
