It actually sounds like your machine may be overheating. You tax the video card & processor when playing videos which causes them to put off a lot of heat. If it's not dissipated efficiently, you can get symptoms like you describe, lockups and/or bluescreens.
One way to tell for sure is to try to play a video off of the hard drive for the same duration & see if the symptoms repeat themselves. If so, could be a bad fan or bad heat sink connection.
If NOT (assuming you're still under warranty) have them swap out the DVD player. That's about a 5 minute operation.
