Ok perhaps its the midnight old getting to me.This "mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/dvdrw /media" worked.I was using the "mount -t udf /dev/dvdrw /media' and mounting was failing . But now the question is why are CDs automounted and DVDs not?What should I do to get the DVD automounted .I don't wannt type "mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/dvdrw /media" everytime I want load a DVD.
You should not mount directly on /media, but instead off of a directory off of /media. You may want to use
gnome-mount -d /dev/dvdrw
instead. It will create a directory off of /media, and mount the DVD there. The name will be based on the label of the DVD. I am not sure why your DVD's are not mounted - it might be because they are UDF. I have ISO9660 data DVD's, and they mount fine, but I do not have any UDF format disks to try.
