wine users - Aug 2005 - DVD Shrink - no DVD devices found

I am new to Wine and really struggling. I'm trying to get DVD Shrink and DVD
Decrypter running on my Kubuntu 5.04. My system is current. I have a 2.8Mhz 
machine with 1Gb memory and lots of space on my 160Gb hard drive. I have a 
Plextor DVD+-RW and an HP CD-RW. They are /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd respectively. 
Here is my /fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       
<dump>
<pass>
proc               /proc                   proc    defaults          0       0
/dev/hda1       /                 ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda5       none                   swap    sw                0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   auto    ro,user,noauto             0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   auto    ro,user,noauto             0       0
/dev/sda        /media/usb0       auto    rw,user,noauto             0       0

I had an older version of wine and used winetools to try the install and set 
up. I had a wineserver running and got DVD Shrink installed according to the 
Ubuntu How To, but DVD Shrink could not see any DVD devices. The drop down 
list was empty when I tried to do an ?open disc? action. I then cleaned out 
all the wine and winetools I had installed and got the latest version from 
Wine-HQ via synaptic (the 725 version). I used winecfg and it found all my 
devices when I did autodetect. It shows them in winecfg just fine. The DVD 
device is labeled ?D:           /media/cdrom0.? There is a symlink 
in /dosdevices/d: for /media/cdrom0 which is the mount point for my DVD+-RW. 
It is named ?cdrom0? and points to /media/cdrom0. I installed DVD Shrink 
again and it seemed to go in just fine, there is a registry entry for it. 
However, still no devices in the drop down list when I do "open disc."
Any help would be much appreciated.

Mount the disc first, then it should work with the open dialog.
                                          with the open dialog

One thing to check: does it really mount the DVD at /media/cdrom0?  In
SuSE, I have a mount point /media/cdrecorder, but when I put in a CD, it
actually gets the volume label and makes a new mount point like
/media/VACATION_PHOTOS or whatever.  So as Joachim said, make sure it's
mounted first, but also make sure it's really mounted where you think it
is.
