As you can see, /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdrw are symbolic link to /dev/sr0
and in order to access /dev/sr0, you need to be root or 'disk' group user.

So add your user to 'disk' group by:

No, please don't. It will only add the risk of total destruction, if you ever
accidentally write directly to things like your root partition (the disk group
has write permissions to all devices)

If this indeed is the problem, simply run an online update, since the problem
of missing permissions on the dvd device was fixed there

You don't need to be root, hal/udev should add an ACL entry, which it does
with the fixes in online update
