I am currently having an issue with a couple of DVDs not playing correctly in DSPlayer. For example, with one disc, the main menu is being skipped and a random extra is playing. The video is also not being played in 16:9 and is staying squashed in a 4:3 ratio. Filters are DVD Navigator, LAV Splitter, Audio, Video and XySubFilter - and of course MadVR

These discs work perfectly in MPC-HC with LAV filters and MadVR, and in standard Kodi too.

Is the DVD Navigator filter that you can use in DSPlayer inferior to that of standard Kodi and MPC-HC? Or could something else be the issue?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Why are certain DVDs playing nicely in both standard Kodi and MPC-HC w/ LAV + MadVR, but not Kodi DSPlayer w/ LAV + MadVR?

It has been said many times that DSPlayer hasn't got its own dvd structure handler and rely on microsoft abandoned & incompleted DVD Navigator directshow filter.

Some would works fine but some don't. Unless you can write better dvd structure navigator directshow filters , you're gonna stuck with this. Other player use other kind of its own dvd handler to avoid this problem. Also I really suspect DSPlayer handle of ISO file to be incompleted as well.

You're better off with using DVDPlayer to handle DVD Disc. Or if you must use DSPlayer you could use MakeMKV to convert ISO to mkv. You're gonna lose menu & stuff but it would play fine with DSPlayer.

Also you can try find 3rd party dvd navigator directshow filter to replace microsoft one.
