Uhm... "Wrong fs type": What mount options are specified in /etc/fstab for
/media/cdrom? I suspect by it's name that it's iso9660 which is NOT what's on
DVD's. Maybe:

mount -t udf /dev/[whatever] /media/cdrom0

Or add udf to fstab, like:

/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
