If your machine is like mine and you have a single cdrom/dvd drive, then Mandrake may have only created the /dev/cdrom link rather than the /dev/dvd link. You can fix this by creating a symbolic link in /dev from /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd
as root
ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
When I do the above I get a file exists error, and in /dev the file is '/dev/dvd@'.
Then your system is NOT like mine. I usually only get one device created and that is cdrom. You can change the default settings for Mplayer, Xine, etc to use /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/dvd or you can create a symbolic link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/dvd. However, if your system already has a symbolic link to /dev/dvd, then this doesn't apply.
have you told your player that it has to look at the dvdrom - in preferences???
No but I will thanks, thats likely the problem.
As root, try changing the permissions for the symlink and/or the device itself in /dev folder.
