Then I installed a DVD/CD-RW drive in addition to the CD-ROM drive, then my /etc/fstab file looked like this: (Fedora created the entry for drive 2 itself)

Rep:
First of all, you don't mount DVDs when you play them with any media player, MPlayer included.
Second, try this:
su
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/dvd
Then try MPlayer again.
However, now I get some nasty messages trying to run the dvd:
MPlayer interupted by signal 11 in module: a02_init
click ok, and get this:
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a
'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
click ok, and get this:
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in
your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault,
please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html and follow
the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information
when reporting a possible bug.
