new dvd drive won't play dvds, but old one can

[Juan Kawada]

Also I forgot to mention that It mounts fine. and my old dvd player that
does work is a asus drive too, although I can't remember the model number
right now.  (i'm pretty sure my new drive is just a newer version of the old
one).

I'm sad to say that it works fine in windows, and I didn't even use the
driver install disc that came with it, so this looks like a linux error.

"ls -l /dev | grep dvd" outputs this
*lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root           4 2008-08-16 09:58 dvd -> scd1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root           4 2008-08-16 09:58 dvd3 -> scd0

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root           4 2008-08-16 09:58 dvdrw3 -> scd0*

ls -l /dev | grep cdr outputs this
