I purchased a dvd with some commercial software on it.
In a windows XP guest running in VMware on a FC5 (or FC6)
host, the DVD is seen by Windows w/o a problem.

But if I try to mount the dvd from linux I get this:

# mount -v /dev/dvd /mnt/cdrom
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/dvd
       I will try type udf
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvd,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so


I've googled and seen several complaints about this
dating back a year, and as recently as yesterday.  Some
have even proposed "try this" type solutions but nothing
works.

Clues, anyone?

Just a thought and I may be way off base. I wonder if the disk is a multi-session disk and thus Linux is having an issue with it. I had an issue like this some time ago with a CD that had a small session that was empty but the data was in a second session.

I cannot remember how I dealt with it, sorry.
