On the "couldn't open display 0:0" error... 
your Xwindows security is set up so you can't open a window. 
xeyes ( small program that I use a lot to test x-windows ) 
would give you the same error... it's not ogle or dvd specific. 

I see this a lot when you start Xwindows on a box that doen't
have it's network connection up and running.

For a temporary solution... you might try doing xhost +localhost
from the user that started the Xwindows Session in the first place. 

For a more permant solution, try adding 
xhost +localhost
to your 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
file. There should be data in your 
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 
file already.... add the xhost +localhost line a few lines
after the top... 
and restart x-windows. 

This tells your box to let any localally connected process 
start up a xwindow on your display. 

The other errors may have been this error... you just didn't 
see it...
