Digit DVDs are not working with Ubuntu.Don't run on Linux platform?The DVDs are not essentially damaged because I ran them on Windows XP before switching over to Ubuntu Fiesty.When I pop the CD,it says-"Invalid mount option when attempting to....".The same case applies to CD/DVDs of other magazines also.Please see the screenshot to interpret the problem.

NB:The drive can read other CD/DVDs.

Looking for an early reply...

For the first command the awkward output is:
grep: hda1: Permission denied
grep: hda2: Permission denied
grep: hda5: Permission denied
grep: hda6: Permission denied
grep: hdb: Permission denied
grep: hdb1: Permission denied
grep: hdb2: Permission denied
grep: hdb5: Permission denied
grep: hdb6: Permission denied
grep: hdb7: Permission denied
Binary file hdc matches
grep: hdd: Input/output error

the messages points ur dvd drive /dev/hdd is showing some i/o error.wait i'll get back soon.It seems to be because of the new libata driver for drives.
