DVD sound is always much quieter than usual.  An mplayer audio filter
may help.  From the mplayer manpage

-af volume=10.1:0

on the mplayer commandline will "amplify the sound by 10.1dB and
hard-clip if the sound level is too high"

Also try, while the DVD is running, hitting the zero key a few times to
increase the normal mplayer volume level.
