If I read you right you are getting good quality input from the video player to the graphics card but poor input from the dvd player. I assume that the dvd is dvd/cd-rom installed in the PC.
If this is so I would be checking on the data transfer capability from the dvd player. The video player is usually plug in direct to the graphics card and gets the input direct at the maximum capability. The dvd from a dvd-rom comes via the motherboard and system resources and the quality of what you seecan be affected by the CPU speed and quality, amount of RAM, but most strongly by the data transfer link.
My first choice of culprit in this would be data transfer speed, probably coming in at ATA 33 due to either an ATA 33 dvd-rom, or a faster dvd-rom on the same IDE cable as a slower cd-rom. IDE cables will always work at the speed of the slowest device. If you have to things on the cable check that you have an ATA 66 or ATA 100 capable cable then unplug the other device and see if that improves the performance. If the dvd-rom and the c: drive are on the same cable try moving the dvd-rom to the second IDE cable.
Beyond that, this deponent noweth not
