+To allow playback of DVD sized (and larger) content change your XF86Config/xorg.conf like this:
+<programlisting>
+Section "Device"
+    [...]
+    Driver "intel"
+    <emphasis>Option "LinearAlloc" "6144"</emphasis>
+    [...]
+EndSection
+</programlisting>
+Lack of this option usually results in an error like
+<screen>X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)</screen>
+when attempting to use <option>-vo xv</option>.
