DVD Video discs are not recognized by FC3T2

[Joe]

I tried putting several DVD Video discs in my DVD
burner to watch some movies in Mplayer. But I'd say
90% of the time, the movie disc isn't recognized
properly and nautilus puts an icon on the desktop
called "DVD-ROM Disc" Clicking on the icon gives the
CD/DVD Creator nautilus window. It thinks it's a DVD-R
disc. This is obviously wrong.

The correct behavior is should give the Volume name of
the movie and nautilus should automatically launch the
gmplayer command line I set in nautilus to play DVD
movies.

What's more interesting is I can do:
mplayer dvd://1

And the dvd disc plays correctly in mplayer.

Or I can load gmplayer, and set the DVD path to
/dev/cdrom at select Play DVD from the menu and the
movie plays!

This behavior is inconsistent. I'd say 1 out of 8
tries or so, the disc is properly recognized and
gmplayer launches. But most of the time, I get the
CD/DVD Creator window. Since the disc isn't mounted, I
can eject the discs from the drive without doing
Right-click Disc Icon->Eject Disc.

I know my DVD drive works correctly because when I
dual-boot back to Windows XP, the DVD movies play
consistently 100% in PowerDVD.
