This for me involved adding myself and my wife who uses the box as part of the disk group I believe before I could play a dvd.
That's not a very good idea. All your hard disks are owned by group "disk", so now you have permissions to completely trash them. Even if your machine is only operated by trusted people you could ruin something by accident. The argument is the same as the argument against logging in as root. It's better to chmod the cdrom only.
