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.
