hi!
What do you mean? Are you unable to mount/view dvdmovies etc?
If so, what program do you use to watch it? And are you shure you have libdvdcss installed? (verify with rpm -qa | grep -i libdvdcss)
Good luck

mounting DVD
hi
thanks for the fast reply
when i put in fstab /dev/dvd instead of /dev/cdrom it doesn't mount
i have aline like this
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
i replaced it with
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
maybe i am doing something wrong.

Does /dev/dvd exist?
Code:ls /dev | grep dvd
