How does the DVD device appear to the system?  If it's /dev/xyz then it should 
be pretty straightforward to play it.

I don't have a USB DVD drive, but my DV camera has a USB connection for the 
MemoryStick, and that uses the standard usb-storage module so it appears to 
the system as a SCSI drive - so I mount /dev/sda1 to access it, or I imagine, 
if it was a DVD I'd use /dev/sda1 as the DVD device.

Cheers,
Adam.
