Wooky, MDK 9.0 turns DMA -off- for CD and DVDs by default. Go to the command line as root, and type "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx" where x represents your DVD drive. (Use the hdx notation, even if you use scsi emulation). Your DVDs will now play as they did in 8.2.
To make the change permanent, add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and you'll be good to go. I learned this on the expert list last night.
