    It would appear that you've possibly bought an illegal copy.

    What region are you in?

    The DVD player probably doesn't like PAL discs, as they're meant for Europe, not the USA. Computers, however, could care less about video standards, so it works there just fine. DVD Santa seems to be the most recommended program for full PAL -> NTSC conversions, you could rip the DVD to your computer with DVD Decrypter, then re-encode it to NTSC with DVD Santa. Watch out during that ripping phase though, lots of bootleg DVDs I've run into (it sounds like this might be one?) have experienced slowdowns or completely unrippable sections.
