Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Does "ls -h" and "gvfs -h" list those files?

[Bob Goddard (robert-goddard13)]

1) Actions I took
I opened my dvd drive and inserted the dvd into the drive and closed the tray

2) Behaviour expected
I expected Nautilus to open up and show all the (hundreds of ) files and folders on the dvd.

3) Behaviour encountered
Nautilus only showed 3 files. The "show hidden files" option is enabled in Nautilus
-----------------------------------
As asked, I opened terminal and browsed to the folder:
ls -h just listed the same three files
gvfs -h said "command not found"

Note that the phenomenon has only been observed with the dvd's that come with the UK magazine "Computer Shopper"
