Vcds are the only multimedia content I am unable to play.

an error occurred while processing ...vcd, the system responded:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type and none was specified.

That is what Dolphin says when I attempt to mount it.

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /media/dvd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 1

That is my /etc/fstab. And I am added as a  member of the optical group.
can someone help me here...?
