Is your DVD a SCSI device by any chance?  If not, then there's something
not right with your setup.  If yes, check the ownership of "/dev/scd0":
        ls -l /dev/scd0

Normally, it should be owned by "root" and group "cdrom" and
readable/writable by "root" and anyone in that group.  Make sure you're
in that group by running "groups".

If that's not the case, grant yourself a write permission to that
device.  For example, by changing it's group to "cdrom", adding yourself
to that group, and changing the permission to "ug=rw,o=" like this:
        sudo chmod ug=rw,o= /dev/scd0
(Note there's a space after "chmod" and before "/dev/scd0".)

Ziyad.
