Yes, that can't possibly be the device, it's a directory. Read a data
CD/DVD, then quickly (before the automounter autoUNmounts it) type "mount".
Its output will look something like this:

/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /home type reiserfs (rw,nodev)
/dev/hda13 on /mnt/old type reiserfs (rw,nodev)
/dev/hda5 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /var/spool/news type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda9 on /export type reiserfs (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda11 on /mnt/auto/scratch type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/dvd2 on /mnt/dvd/dvd2 type iso9660 (ro,mode=0666)

  device point filesystem options

Mount point will be /media/cdrom1 . Find the device, /dev/something.
Then, mplayer dvd://title ; you must give it the option "-dvd-device
/dev/something" if "something" .NE. "dvd". You may need to fudge the audio
with "-aid <id>", or the chapter with "-chapter <chapter id>" if you don't
see or hear what you expect.
