It shouldn't matter. I'm using 1920x1200 resolution and every third
party DVD player I have plays DVDs fine. What application is giving
you the error message, what EXACTLY is the message and what resolution
are you running at?

You could for testing try dropping your resolution to 640x480 which is
the default DVD frame size for NTSC specs then work your way higher.
