    With "udf,iso9660" DVD's are recognized fine by mythTV, but normal CD's are
    not mounted as they where in FC3.

    The DVD's I use are Video DVD's and some are data DVD's created by k3b (which
    worked well before in FC3).
    I expect the Video DVD to be played by mythTV, which it does when I put
    "udf,iso9660" in fstab and I expect the data DVD to be mounted, which it
    doesn't at the moment. This is very inconvenient because my mythTV box is
    normally controlled by remote control and although it has a keyboard, it's
    not really supposed to be used all the time. In short, this is a bit of a
    showstopper for mythTV.
