Hi and welcome billmanz

I'm sorry nobody has responded to you before now....

My guess is that the issue is codec related - most likely the audio codec. In your logs I see something unusual happening:

2011-08-21 12:49:48.916137 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Added filter: ffdshow Video Decoder to graph
2011-08-21 12:49:49.094147 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Added filter: MPC - MPA Decoder Filter to graph
2011-08-21 12:49:49.129149 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Added filter: ffdshow Audio Decoder to graph

MP inserts 2 audio codecs. I don't see why that is, but it is possibly either the cause or a symptom of the problem. I suggest you try using the Microsoft DTV-DVD audio decoder and see if that works for you...
