I'm not sure what OS you are using...but here we go
for linux:
#hdparm -d1 /dev/hdx (x being your dvd drive)
winxp:
1. Double-click Administrative Tools and then click Computer Management
2. Click Systems Tools and then click Device Manager
3. Click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
4. Click the specific controller for which you want to configure DMA/PIO settings.
5. Click the Advanced Settings tab
6. In the Transfer Mode box, click either PIO Only or DMA if available
7. Restart your computer for this change to be enabled and saved

the problem itself I'm still trying to get to the bottom of. I could not the linux version of VLC to replicate what you described. I will continue to look for the source of the problem. (you may want to try downloading a nightly build and seeing if the problem still exists.)
