MPEG 2 Video for DVDs stream at 9.8 Mb/sec.

DV is higher than that. IIRC.

The website I sited will have more detail.

Let me know if you can't find what you need.

But I'd say you can't stream DV data from a DVD-R. Not fast enough. As
you've seen. Another issue is that the data from the DVD is probably not
written sequentially on the disk. This just compounds the problem.
