 Generally make sure that whichever device is pointed to by /dev/cdrom 
or /dev/dvd belongs to the logged in user. Try chown $USER /dev/whatever 
(e.g. my cdrom is /dev/hdc).

 I had to add the following in /etc/security/console.perms.d/ to get 
/dev/dvd to work.

# device classes -- these are shell-style globs
<dvd>=/dev/dvd*
# permission definitions
<console>  0600 <dvd>      0600 root
