My FC6 machine is failing to read DVDs.I've tried all sorts , including originals , without luck.However CDs are working fine. When I try to mount the drive with a DVD in it , I get the message "unable to mount media. there is probably no media in the drive" and yet , when i eject the DVD and insert a CD instead , all works fine.This problem only started after the upgrade from FC5 to FC6
I have seen a problem occasionally on my machine, though usually after using it once. I have also ejected a DVD, inserted another, only to find that FC6 still thinks the original disc is in the machine (volume label is the same and I see the same old files in the nautilus window.
I have rebooted, and manually unmounted the disc to resolve this before and have not seen it again for some time so I don't know if it will recur (I don't often watch DVDs) but you could try a 'umount /dev/hdd' or whatever your drive is. You might give it a '-l' (lazy) also as I find this helps a lot in the case of difficult umounts.
