sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; clear; sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/cdrom0

Should do it, it it is a video DVD then you do NOT mount it

If you right click on ISO file image, you should get a contextual menu, with an entry to mount DVD image.
If you insert a physical DVD, it should be mounted automatically. In this case, you have another issue. Can you check if you can read this DVD on another computer? Have a look in upper bar, in Places menu.

Can you help with this problem?
