Looks like you have libvdpau-va-gl1 installed and use a Intel GPU. As this
combination caused problems in the past, could you please try to disable
hardware decoding, or force vlc to use VA-API or unsinstalling libvdpau-va-gl1
completely?

(This might be totally unrelated to your issue, but I am not aware of any
changes between jessie and stretch that could have caused regressions in DVD
support.)
