According to the manual, I think the command should be "mplayer dvd://[title
| [start_title]-end_title ] [options]"
I tried using "mplayer dvd://1", but got the error like this:
Playing dvd://1.
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd
File not found: '1'
Failed to open dvd://1
Exiting... (End of file)

By the way, it seems that I have /dev/dvd, but I have dvd-rom.
So what is the problem? That I don't have a dvd driver or that I don't write
the correct title in the command?

maybe you don't have a link pointing from your real dvdrom device to /dev/dvd.

$ dmesg|grep -i dvd

should tell you the device name, that you should append to

$ mplayer dvd:// -dvd-device
