Interesting.... There is a person on the Kubuntu list who cannot get 
k9copy to open a DVD even though he can actually open it using other 
apps including playing the DVD using kaffeine. He is also now using 
12.04, BTW. Oh, he gets a different error message which just says, 
"Cannot open /dev/sr0".
