Sorry, I didn't realize that replying to the emails automatically would generate the two posts above.

But as I thought about this I may have figured it out. As you can see in my screenshot, when a disc is inserted into any removable drive, xubuntu executes the following command: "totem dvd:/" The command "totem dvd:/" is system default - I have never intentionally modified that command or my video settings.

When I run the same command in a terminal window, I can exactly replicate the error. (remember above I found the command "totem /media/cdrom0" or "totem /media/cdrom1" worked perfectly.)

Can someone please tell me what command I can use that will recognize whichever dvd-rom I am using? Also, if the "totem dvd:/" command is indeed set by install, and not accidentally changed by me, I would hope for the sake of the new ubuntuers that the command would be set to something that actually works.

Finally, when I run "totem dvd:/" in a terminal, here is the output:
