    The DVD drive did have a DVD in it. However, for some strange reason,
    the system is trying to mount the CD-RW drive instead of the DVD drive.
      What do I need to change so the system sees the CD-RW drive as
    /dev/cdrom and the DVD drive as /dev/dvd instead of CD-RW as /dev/dvd
    and DVD as /dev/cdrom1?

    Here's something weird that I just now discovered...

    The DVD drive is being seen as /dev/sr1 instead of /dev/dvd. So doing a
    mount /dev/sr1 /dvd -t udf, I was able to mount the drive. Then I
    changed mplayer to look to /dev/sr1 as the DVD device, and it worked.

    I'm keeping them that way for the time being because I plan on trying
    out WINE soon, so they need to be executable (if I'm understanding the
    exec property correctly.)
