OK, this is strange. Some DVDs seem to crash my system, while others
appear to work perfectly OK.

Check dmesg and /var/log/messages to see if there's things like IDE
resets being flung about (thats if it's an IDE drive).

Also the examples you give don't really mean much, as we don't know
what type of disc they are. Try DVDs, CD-ROMs and audio CDs and see
if there's any difference. I don't think that putting in an AC/DC
disc is likely to cause a problem, the important thing is what type of
disc is it, not who owns the copyright ;-)

From the sound of it though I reckon your DVD drive isn't very good,
the noise from the drive sounds like it's spinning up as fast as it
can in an effort to try and make sense of the disc, so check the logs
for IDE issues.
