To improve battery performance in the Macbook line first calibrate the battery (run the battery down completely past the warning splash screen) then recharge fully. When you are ready to watch your DVD, make sure to quit all applications, be sure to also turn off the Airport wireless and bluetooth as well. Additionally, make sure the computer screen brightness is turned down to the lowest level you can comfortable see (this is one of the largest drains). You can also set your System Prefs Energy Saver settings to optimized battery to help as well.
