You need to add the multimedia.org non-free repo to
be able to install some of the media related applications
and libs on pure Debian.

Yeah, refer to ealier response in this post.

Ok, next check that the mount points for the devices exist
in /media and /mnt. (/media/dvd, /media/cdrom, ect. /mnt/dvd,
/mnt/cdrom, ect.) To find out if they do or do nor exist
 run "ls -al /mnt" and "ls -al /media"
If they do not exist create the mount points in /mnt and /media.
mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
mkdir -p /mnt/dvd
mkdir -p /mnt/dvdrw
mkdir -p /media/cdrom
mkdir -p /media/dvd
and so forth and so on.

Also make sure your user is added to media related groups
such as cdrom, video, audio ect. in the /etc/groups file.
If you are using KDE you could use kuser for a GUI method to do so,
or the like GUI app for Gnome, XFCE, ect.

Look at this file closely to take note of the mount points for
the device and make sure they do in fact exist on the filesystem
as I said earlier in post.
