VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/'"

Please don't remove original question, it make thread difficult to follow.
You add at top a summary to describe current state.

Do you get same error ?

Sorry, I just realized its the suite of another question.

Im sorry, I was told to open a new question and I really didn't know
what to do with linking it...as I said at the start of the other
question, I am very new to all of this stuff.
Yes I still get the same error

Can you post result of command:
   ls -l /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/

sam@sam-E-3600:~$ ls -l /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/
ls: cannot access /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS/: No such file or directory

Can you post result of command:
   ls -l /media/cdrom0/
(with DVD in drive, obviously) and
   ls -l /media

sam@sam-E-3600:~$ ls -l /media/cdrom0/
total 4

dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 2008-01-24 00:30 VIDEO_TS
sam@sam-E-3600:~$ ls -l /media

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-14 19:21 cdrom1,

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-12-05 09:48 floppy0
sam@sam-E-3600:~$

Also, this time when I put the dvd in I got this pop up message a few
seconds before VLC opened:
Failed to mount "va=dvd".
mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660'.

I will have a look tomorrow

Could you run command:
   vlc /media/BATTLESTAR_GALACTICA_S1D1
and report errors, if occurs ones.
Obviously, replace BATTLESTAR_GALACTICA_S1D1 by your own CD.
