Everytime Additional Information: Also tried making old dirs in /media/ and entries for the dvd readers from fstab of old FC4 installation Fedora Core 5, kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 gnome-mount-0.4-5 wine-0.9.10-2.fc5 DVD Decrypter Version 3.5.4.0
Looks like wine is looking at fstab (it needs to look at mtab for mounted volumes). If it is working with unmounted drives it needs to be either HAL aware or get drive info from the kernel. /etc/fstab is not a canonical place to find drive information on modern dynamic systems. Please file this upstream with Wine.
Mark, a workaround or perhaps the proper way to go (works for me) may be to configure Wine's drive X: (or whatever) to point to the DVD's mount point /media/ <MEDIUMNAME>. Either using winecfg, or by ln -sf /media/<MEDIUMNAME> ~/.wine/dosdevices/x: Problem: The mount point changes with every DVD. Perhaps there is a workaround someone can point me to where multiple mountpoints or automatic symbolic links (/media/DVD -> /media/<MEDIUMNAME>) are created. I actually did not modify fstab for Wine+DVD Decrypter at all, despite some instructions telling you so. I had found an instruction which does exactly the above and seems a little bit easier (and can be done fully as non-root :->). Also don't forget to execute DVDDecrypter within Wine as "WinNT 4.0". :) Sorry for disturbing a closed bug report, Moritz
