That's the mount point. Video DVDs aren't mounted. It wants /dev/hdc or
whatever. On mine, it's /dev/dvd1 or /dev/dvd2, I think. mplayer's a
decent player -- hey, for playing not-region-1 DVDs, it's all I had for a
while -- but don't expect the same graphical menu as when you put the disc
in a standalone player. Dunno if it does that.
