Hi Guys

This is driving me mad! I am trying to follow instructions on mounting a dvd but failing at the first hurdle.

Your operating system really should be doing this for you - if it's not, there's quite possibly an issue at some point in the chain. Bad DVD perhaps.

You've neglected to mention what type of DVD, which is important. Data DVD? Commercial film DVD? The latter will have DRM to negotiate.

I run lsusb and have discovered my device ID but the website I am reading tells me I need a pid, where do I get that from please?

Where on earth did you find that nonsense? Ignore it.

Create mountpoint /mnt/BLAH and execute:

sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/BLAH

If it doesn't work post what dmesg says.
