What exactly do you mean by this?

What happens when - without k9copy running! - you insert a DVD into the 
drive - does the menu come up (bottom right) "asking" you what you want 
to do with the DVD and is the option to use k9copy there?

(Have you checked the Settings in k9copy? One of the settings which 
defaults to "Unknown" is the one to do with language of the film and the 
sub-titles. Untick "Unknown" and tick English (eg) in both.

BTW, the part dealing with Devices seems to always show nothing - but 
k9copy still works so don't panic about this setting :-) .)
     I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this problem, but 
it's time to ask for help here. permissions on /dev/sr0 are: rw for root 
rw for group cdrom the user is a member of group cdrom I get the same 
error even if I run k9copy as root (not a good idea, I know). Everything 
else I've tried works: I can mount the DVD as (for example) /media/dvd. 
I can play the DVD with (for example) Kaffeine So what do I need to do 
to have k9copy be able to access the disc? Doc
