    DVD permission issue - my work around

    Had a problem playing commercial DVDs and got it solved (sort of) so I thought I'd share.

    The main problem was permissions. It turned out that after the DVD was mounted, the user and group were some way out numbers and I couldn't access the VOB files.

    Anyway, running this...

    sudo umount /media/cdrom0
    sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
    sudo umount /media/cdrom1
    sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1

    ...remounted my DVD drives so I could access them as normal. To eject, it requires unmounting...

    sudo umount /media/cdrom0
    sudo umount /media/cdrom1

    ...so these scripts are on my desktop for ease of use.

    After this, it was just a codec issue.

    I'm not sure whether this problem needs reporting as a bug or something. Perhaps someone with more knowledge that me can determine that.

    I hope this helps someone else.
Working...
