Hello

I used lshw and saw the following:

*-cdrom
                description: DVD-RAM writer
                product: DVD-RAM GH22NP20
                vendor: HL-DT-ST
                physical id: 0.0.0
                bus info: scsi at 0:0.0.0
                logical name: /dev/cdrom
                logical name: /dev/cdrw
                logical name: /dev/dvd
                logical name: /dev/dvdrw
                logical name: /dev/scd0
                logical name: /dev/sr0
                version: 1.00
                serial: [HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GH22NP201.0008/05/09 7U01
                capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram
                configuration: ansiversion=5 status=nodisc


Does this means that DVD is recognized ? If yes, then still I can use
mplayer.
