Richard:

Maybe earlier messages on -user ? DVDs aren't normally signed repositories.

Various folk have suggested to you how to mount DVDs correctly and how to 
use apt-cdrom to add the contents to apt.

Take the DVD, mount it, use apt-cdrom to index the contents and go from 
there? 

Synaptic may not be ideal: you might find that your use cases may be 
better served by apt/aptitude which may allow you to better see what 
you're doing.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
