Bug Description
Binary package hint: vlc
By default, when choosing Media-> Open Disc in vlc, it selects /dev/sr0 by default. Unfortunately, if /dev/sr0 doesn't exist, this doesn't work. The dropdown selection doesn't do anything at all; I have to type in /dev/sr1 or /dev/dvd manually.
VLC should probably make sure that the selected device actually exists...
This is in Karmic

VLC has no default. It uses whatever libdvdnav uses.
Make sure you did not accidentally record /dev/sr0 as the default DVD drive in the preferences. Some older versions of VLC and udev have been causing this issue.
