DVD playback on Debian

Somehow, I got my copy of Debian (unstable) to play DVDs--but only as root. When I mount the disc as root (at the console, mount /dev/hdd), it shows up on the Nautilus desktop with the proper disc label (in this case, “CASABLANCA”) and plays just fine in Totem. (Even the menus work!) However, when I try to do the same as a normal user, the disc shows up as “CD-ROM” on the desktop, and Totem refuses to play the disc. I get two errors: “The movie ‘/dev/hdd’ could not be read” and “Totem could not play ‘dvd:/’. There is no plugin to handle this movie”. I suspect this has something to do with how I configured my DVD drive in /etc/fstab, but I’m not 100% sure.

Anyone have any ideas?

This is my /etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>               <dump>  <pass>

Thanks in advance!
