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.
