also make sure you have the cd - dvd file systems loaded in your kernel.

Video DVDs don't need mounting, btw.

In your kernel config make sure you have everything checked under File systems > CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems

If you want to mount a DVD video (to look at the files on it), your kernel needs UDF filesystem support.

If you just want to play the video, use Xine or Mplayer. As far as I know, Totem doesn't work with DVD videos.

thankyou adding the kernel modules allowed me to play dvd in totem but it was real grainy. xine played whith decent quality but I cant figure out how to put it in the multimedia menu in the aplications tab under gnome. is there a file to edit or am I stuck whith the gnome selected applications there
