Did you install libdvdcss, or anything like that?  Since none of these
programs are strictly for playing DVD's, I'm pretty sure they don't
force you to have the libraries needed to play DVD's when you install
them (they might be "recommended" or "suggested", if they're available
in the apt repository).  It's been a while, though, so I can't tell
you exactly what to look for.

Too many apps should not be the issue here.
