Four days ago I ran the fedora-update script to move from F17 to
F18.
Everything seems to work, except one thing: applications like vlc
and Dragon, that I used to play DVD movies, won't open the disks.
Whether they are commercial disks or the ones I prepared myself,
makes no difference: the disks won't play. The disks will mount,
but multimedia applications do not show up in the list of
suggested options.
When I open vlc and tell it to "open a disc," it looks for a disk
at mount point "/dev/dvd" and says it can't find it.
Dragon seems to know that I have a disk in the drive, and even
recognizes its volume name. But it never even gets to playing the
selection menu.
In F17, I lost the ability to play commercial disks. Apparently I
never installed libdvdcss2. I tried that this time. It makes no
difference--because my multimedia apps won't play even the disks
that do not need libdvdcss* to play.
These two applications will play multimedia files--except that vlc
will no longer play Matroska Video (.mkv) files, though Dragon
will.
I installed "rpmfusion" to get vlc.
Any advice? (Other than simply "rip the DVDs to your hard drive
and have done with it." That's the perfect way to fill your hard
drive to capacity, a thing I prefer to avoid.)

Places where you have /dev/dvd change to /dev/sr0
