See my post later in this thread, and when those points
mentioned are covered, insert the DVD in question.
Manually mount the media:
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
Then run:
ls -al /mnt/dvd
Do the text and html files show up in the output?

It says it's write protected.

root@johnnyspc:/home/johnny# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

Yes I can see the names of the files.

I found this ins /etc/fstab

/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0


Should I change that to auto?

CDs and DVDs are always mounted read-only.  Writing to them requires a 
different technique than reading them, and they are normally only 
written to when they are _not_ mounted.

No.  "noauto" in the mount options in /etc/fstab simply means that the 
filesystem is not mounted automatically at boot time.  You don't want to 
have the system start looking for a filesystem on a CD/DVD to mount at 
boot time. ;-)

The DVD icon doesn't show up in Computer, or Filesystem.  The only way
I can mount it is in the Terminal, and then I can't access the files, I
can only see the names.

Your there then, as far as being able to access the data on the DVD
media. Now you can access these files via your filemanager/shell or
text editor, or whatever application by drilling to the filesystem
mount point for the optical device. 
Like say you want to open a html file in your browser,
just use File>>Open File and drill to /mnt/dvd/your_html_file.html
and it would load in your browser. Or use your filemanager to open
the files in whatever app you need, by drilling to the mount point
(/mnt/dvd in this case) with your filemanager.

Also check your /etc/fstab file for something like:

/dev/sr0  /mnt/dvd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/sr0  /mnt/cdrom auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

Add them and edit for the mount points you choose to use with
the optical device or devices you have. 

I don't setup any auto mounting features for DVD, CDROM etc.
I have always just manually mounted them to access them. 
So somebody else that has setup such is going to have to take
it from there if you want that setup properly. 
I just use fstab and command line to mount, umount devices.  
Well, I do set it all up in fstab and use the kwikdisk
application from my fluxbox system tray for quick access.

Thanks, I'll find that /mnt/dvd/myfiles and try to create a link to it,
so I can just click on it to display the files.

I created a symbolic link in Documents to /media/dvd, but I still have
to mount the drive in the Terminal.  Once mounted, I can then click the
link in Documents, and have access to all the files on the DVD.

root@johnnyspc:/home/johnny/Documents# ln -s /media/cdrom

I'm still trying to figure out why the DVD is not mounted
automatically.  I have the same version of Wheezy on another computer,
and when I insert a DVD, the DVD icon automatically appears in the File
System.

This is what is in /fstab:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=e5ef892e-a139-49f1-9b3b-7d8bd7db1539 none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/sr0  /mnt/dvd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

I don't like automounting, but to the best of my knowledge, if you want 
a removable storage medium mounted automatically, then my experience 
says that you should _not_ have a record for it in /etc/fstab, let alone 
three.
