I can't play DVDs [solved]

Hi,

I did a fresh install of arch today and now I have problem to play DVDs.
I can mount dvd without problem but how to play it (I tried with su and same problem)?
If I type

mplayer /dev/hdd

I get the followig message:

[eric@arch ~]$ mplayer /dev/hdd
MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon Thunderbird (Family: 6, Stepping: 2)
Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0
Compiled with runtime CPU detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!
To get best performance, recompile MPlayer with --disable-runtime-cpudetection.

Failed to open /dev/rtc: No such file or directory (it should be readable by the user.)
Playing /dev/hdd.

Exiting... (End of file)

If it can help, here is my /etc/fstab:
