Did you put # sign before /dev/cdrom yourself?

Execute this

hdparm -I /dev/dvd
hdparm -I /dev/cdrom

Post output here.

/dev/dvd:
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange


/dev/cdrom:
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange

ok it shows up in the Device Notifier now
all i did is install the GNOME Desktop.

but my /etc/fstab file hasn't changed at all
i don't know why it shows up now.

MPlayer, Kaffeine won't show the movie
tried Xine and got this from the Zine Log Viewer

xine :found demuxer plugin: Elementare MPEDG stream demux plugin
xine: found input plugin : file input plugin
xine: cannot find ioput plugin for MRL [dvd:/]
xine: found input plugin : DVD Navigator

Have you tried VLC Player? It supports most of the media formats.

ok sumthing is really screwy here

ok i followed this to setup my codecs
How To Properly Set Up Slackware Linux

i downloaded this file all-20071007.tar .bz2 from
Index of /MPlayer/releases/codecs/

and did exactly what he said:
untar the codec archive to /usr/lib/win32
and symlink it into /usr/lib/codecs
then run ldconfig

and it worked.
