This is strange, did you use the right command? If you use the -t option to mount a drive, you have to specify the device and mount point, for example: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Data is the only type of CD I need to mount, so there is no need to keep it as auto in fstab.

You might consider setting up another line in fstab for your cdrom drive with a different mount point but set the filesystem to udf. This will allow you to mount data CD's that are written in packet write mode.

Thanks,

I am still having no luck with some DVDs, mostly cartoons with multi epsodes. Full lenght run just fine. I have tried to mount the DVD using just about everything I can think of, even changed fstab and rebooted and still get "no media found" error. On Wednesday 04 June 2003 12:20 pm, Bernd wrote:

Thanks Charles.

I wasn't able to get the mount command to properly work with the -t, so I just changed the file type in fstab to iso9660. From there I was able to mount it okay. Data is the only type of CD I need to mount, so there is no need to keep it as auto in fstab. Auto always gave me an 'unable to determine filetype' error whenever I tried to mount mixed cd's.

After mounting, I was able to view the 'enhanced' portion of the cd just fine via the VCD feature of xine.

Thanks,

Bernd

Bruce, If you follow the thread back, I received a site for xine with some instructions. After following all, I was able to get things running just fine. Have not tried all of my nearly 400 DVD's, but did try the various menu items on one particular one and it seemed to work fine. After making the changes listed above, I was able to get the videos on the multi-session 'enhanced' Audio CD's to work okay in xine also, after mounting it in my cdrom drive (For now, I want to keep the drives specific for their purpose. DVD for DVD's and data cd's, and CDROM for audio cd's and multi-session 'enhanced' audio cd's. I may find the need to change things a bit over time.).
