Running with VLC, not that it matters with this problem. It happens on
both kde and gnome with all players I have tested.

@frog:~/blender-2.48a-linux-glibc236-py25-x86_64$ vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6e Janus
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 0.1.10 from http://dvd.sf.net
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/hda
No such file or directory
libdvdnav: vm: faild to open/read the DVD
[00000300] dvdread demuxer error: DVDRead cannot open source: /dev/hda
[00000298] main input error: no suitable access module for `dvd:///dev/hda'
[00000289] main playlist: nothing to play

I think you have something, why is it looking at hda for a dvd?
