Even then DVD movies (purchased) are not recognised - error message that media is unknown. Audio cd's sometimes play. When trying to unmount, I am asked for my password - message given that another user mounted the media.

I have an Acer Aspire 5740-5513 laptop and the BIOS workaround doesn't work for me. I don't get the VFS error in dmesg but I am still unable to mount my backup (data only) iso9660-based DVD. In fact, when I insert the DVD, it just makes a clicking noise and is completely inaccessible.

CDs are readable, but I am unable to write CDs.
