The MythVideo plugin plays content such as this.  It simply spawns an 
external player (like xine) to do it.  There is some support for media 
detection (which I've never used) so that should work as well.  That 
being said, MythVideo is more geared towards watching content stored on 
the hard disk already so you may have to search the archives a bit for 
suggestions from people to get that to work with content on DVD+R which 
i believe has been posted before.
