The simplest thing to do is to rip a dvd to .mkv without any recompression using MakeMKV (google it, the first link is what you want). It basically just remuxes the MPEG2 and AC3 streams into a MKV container with all the correct settings, guess work completely eliminated.
If you have problems playing those back, then there's something further amiss with your XBMC setup that you can look further into.

PS: 1280 * 1028 is a very odd resolution - HDTV standard resolutions are 1280x720 or 1366x768 or 1920x1080. Anything else is likely to cause scaling and aspect ratio problems.
Hey Joe,
I ripped them all using MakeMKV.
The resolution I was referring to was an pre-widescreen pc screen resolution, but never mind that.
I have been fiddeling with the options in FFDSHOW and now I can not run anything anymore with DSPLAYER.
Man, I really really hate this ... It's all so complex and frustrating
