Difficult to say what you problem is from the description that you have
given where the problem could be.
Try checking what the dvd rule is in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules,
should be something like:
BUS="ide", KERNEL="*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media",
RESULT="cdrom", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="cdrom dvd"
This is a flexible rule that creates two symlinks to the cdrom device
called cdrom and dvd.
Make sure that, in local_conf.py
ROM_DRIVES = [ ('/mnt/dvd', '/dev/dvd', 'DVD') ]
or your equivalent is set
Try different dvds,
Try:
mminfo /dev/dvd

Best place to look if it is not in the wiki is local_conf.py.example the
comments _should_ tell you what to set.
For DVDs just add:
plugin.activate('video.dvdbackup')
to local_conf.py
And for progress:
plugin.activate('idlebar.encoding', level=20)
Not very good at the moment but does show what phase is being run and
the expected finish time for that phase.
