That looks just like the bug. It should be /dev/dvd ->scd0

What seems to hapen is that you had an ide dvd player and then it gets
updated to a scd0 player in the software but the ide is not dropped
and takes up the dvd slot but then it does not work because it is no
longer supported that way.

The answer is to raname or if you are brave and dumb remove that file
called /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and reboot your
computer. Then you should find that dvds play without problems. Let us
know.
