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