I tested with some home burned data DVD he got (so for the record the
ABBA album was not mine) with mp3 files on it and a audio CD. There
where burned with Roxio on Windows XP. And all got the same permission
problem.

I checked some different DVD's on my computer and for commercial DVD
movies i got the 4294967295 uid/gid, all other, like home made DVD
movies and data DVD got root as uid/gid for the mountpoint and the
files and dirs on the DVD. For all the different DVD's the permissions
on the mounted DVD is like:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root        1478299476 2005-10-14 23:11 0compressed.zip
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root       2048 2005-10-14 23:12 AutoRun

and the mount options is:
/dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom0 type udf (ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=jonas)

As far as i understand iso9660 and UDF don't use file permissions if
you don't use the Rock Ridge extensions and don't thinks thats likely.
How can I see if a DVD uses Rock Ridge? For file systems that don't
have file permissions it should be "emulated" in the kernel and
changed with the mount options, right?

I don't think it has anything to do with the DVD media or how it's
burned. I think it has something to do with HAL or mount and some
options passed to those but why and what?.

Thanks for answering my mail.
