i have a dvd rom and a dvd writer which are related to hdc and hdd. here is my fstab lines related to them:
Code:
/dev/hdc      /mnt/dvdrom     udf,iso9660     noatime,noauto,ro,user   0 0
/dev/hdd      /mnt/dvdrw   udf,iso9660   noatime,noauto,rw,user   0 0

and this is /mnt folder with permissions of the folders:
Code:
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 11 22:16 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 27 04:55 dvdrom
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Sep 27 04:55 dvdrw
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 11 22:16 floppy

when i put a raw dvd on dvdrw, k3b can not recognize it and when i try to mount it, i got the message that the dvdrw is mounted read-only.
Code:
reza@tux ~ $ mount /dev/hdd
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail  or so
reza@tux ~ $ dmesg | tail
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdd: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdd: rw=0, want=1252, limit=4
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdd: rw=0, want=1028, limit=4
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
attempt to access beyond end of device
hdd: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdd, iso_blknum=16, block=16

1- should i change something in fstab to be able to write on dvd?
2- when i put a cd or dvd in dvdrom or dvdrw, i should mount them manualy in terminal. is there any way that the system mount it automatically the same as it is done for a USB stick memory?

Normaly k3b should be able to recognice a dvd. Perhaps the drive is not working correctly (wrong driver, bad cable, ...)
Is it possible to read a normal dvd with that drive?

To use the dvd like a floppy you need to format it: packet writing.

You could look into automount and/or HAL. Or how are usb-sticks mounted for you?! (By your DE?)

yes, the drive can read a cd or dvd. but can not mount the raw cd or dvd as writable.

What kind of media are you trying to mount like this ?

As far as I know, only DVD-RAM and DVD+RW can be used "raw", all other types need to use some kind of packet writing software.

ps. You will also need to put a filesystem on the disc before the mount command will work.
