Bug Description

DVDstyler uses /dev/dvd device, that doesn't exist.
Could you add a symbolic link from /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd ?

As one can't guarentee that /dev/sr0 will actually be a DVD drive, I don't see this happening. You could suggest this upstream to DVDstyler, but I wouldn't hold your breath (I think you'll have to manually link it yourself)

So, why /dev/cdrom (and not /dev/dvd) is linked with /dev/sr0 in Linux MINT ?
And why others GNU/Linux distros link /dev/dvd with /dev/sr0 ?

Should remove /dev/cdrom link too, if you are right.
