[ubuntu] DVD Drive Mounts Software but not movies topic






Hi,

I've been using Ubuntu for a while but i'm still at beginner stage.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.10.

When i put a DVD disc into my optical drive my PC mounts the disc as expected but ONLY if it has software (Like a new distro from Linux Format magazine etc), but if i insert a DVD movie (i've tried several new and old) the PC pops up and says it has succesfully Unmounted the DVD drive (rather than Mounting it).

I don't use the optical drive very often so i'm not entirely sure when this issue started.

I do know however i have done the following two things that may or may not be related between it working and not working:

1: I've upgraded to Ubuntu 14.10 (no other issues noticed).

2: I tried putting a movie DVD (for the wrong region) in the optical drive. I live in the UK (Region 2) and the DVD i tried was Region 1 (for US - America).
(I bought a movie online from Amazon, but it turned out to be for the wrong region).

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this issue?

Can i request any help offered is kept to a fairly newbie level as i'm still learning (sorry).

Many thanks in advance.
