Yes, likely.

I have those devices but they did not work when I tested them but I
might have done it wrong. Perhaps I should go back and redo this using
/dev/dvd1, because that is then linked on my system to /dev/scd0, also
sr0, cdrom1,cdrw1, dvdrw1 also point there. And what of that bit about
/media??
It might be a more generic and more correct answer.

I just tested setting them all do /dev/dvd1 and it works to as I
expected. Perhaps this is better advice for the masses because they
might not have scd0?
