Just upgraded to 9.10 Beta and the behavior had definitely changed.
Using this line in my /etc/fstab now makes problematic DVDs behave
properly.

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660
users,noauto,uid=0,gid=46,mode=0777,dmode=0777,nosuid,noexec 0 0

The old line (default from Ubuntu install) was

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Thanks Busby for the fstab entry! your configuration solved the problems
that i'm having accessing with video dvd. it's a shame that in 2015 i
still need to configure this manually to access the content of dvd
video.

Bug description:
  ever since I upgraded pmount, gnome-volume-manager hasn't been able to deal w/
  my DVDs correctly.

  it mounts the disc as one one would expect, but it can't launch totem.  When I
  do it manually.  I get this error from totem when I try to "Play Disc"

  "Failed to play Audio/Video Disc
   Error opening directory '/media/cdrom0/'
  VIDEO_TS': Permission denied."

  /media/cdrom0 is
  dr--r--r--  3 4294967295 4294967295 88 2004-09-03 18:58 /media/cdrom0/

  it's mounted as 
  /dev/hdc on /media/cdrom0 type udf (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=spotter)

  and an ls of it shows

  spotter@dent:~ $ ls -l /media/cdrom0/
  ls: /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS: Permission denied

  though it works as root

  root@dent:/home/spotter # ls -l /media/cdrom0/
  total 2
