    I`m new to MorphOs, can someone tell me what to
    do, to mount my DVDs, or DVD data?

    AFAIK you shouldn't have to do anything, just connect the drive like a CD-Rom and it should read DVD's, at least data DVDs...

    No It only reads cdrom for some reason. It doesn`t matter what format Win,Linux,Mac, or Morph cdroms work, just not any type of DVD.
    and of course it is a DVD drive :-)

    Mm, weird. I tried several on the Pegasos 1 and 2 here, ranging from a cheap noname dvd rom drive to a nec 1300 dvd rewriter, they all worked and read various data dvd's...

    Slightly unrelated here but,
    just to add more clues or confusion,

    A buddy brought over his burn of a DVD. It was burned onto a 4.7GB DVD+RW media.

    His machine could play it, mine could not even detect the media.

    My machine (an x86 linuxPC) :-( plays ALL commercial DVDs from retail/rental that I have thrown at it. But I never tried DVD+RW init until last nite. So maybe its a dvdrom problem?


    just to add my 2cents of confusion....your welcome
    I am ; therefore you are

    It has to be an ISO DVD, and not a UDF DVD.

    If it's UDF, then you won't be able to mount it without a UDF filesystem.
