Do you get the same behaviour with all DVDs? mmpython isn't picking them up, it's seeing it as a cd, you should get an output like this.
mminfo /dev/dvd mmpython media info filename : /dev/dvd type: DVD ^^^ subtype: video id: 2002020616260300D038006 label: D038006 length: 10765 AFAIR freevo caches this info so you'll have to delete ~/.freevo/vfs/disc/* each time you test. Also for freevo cache take ownership of that dir for the user you normally run freevo as.
