This applies only to *video* DVDs, no matter whether they are tainted by DRM or not. Data DVDs work without problems so far.

Here as well, replace “CD” with “data DVD”. That means after inserting (mounting or reading is irrelevant), Video DVDs also work if the previously inserted DVD was as large or larger. While this provides some workaround that original problem persists.

I'm at a loss of ideas what the trigger could be. AFAIK video DVD *are* ordinary data DVDs with some predefined file layout.
