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.
