First off, in order to watch DVD's you have to point it to your DVD-ROM drive, which usually tends to be /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc depending on your hardware setup, and using the -dvd-device switch. Never point it to a symlinked device as it tends to slow down the process of viewing info off discs.

Are you sure about that? Why would using a symlink make a difference?
