I got 2 Dvd drives inside my rig. But how can i access them as a normal user? Everytime i want to mount a dvd i have to do this as root. How can i change the permission of the drive to a normal user?

Do you have "user" option next to /dev/dvd (or however you have those entries of yours called there) in /etc/fstab?
Additionally, are you in optical group (run "groups" as user)?

yep i got user in fstab, but i am not in group optical
gonna add myself and try again
still no go: i added myself to the goup loged out and in again an tried:
[issue@kiwi ~]$ mount /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd/
mount: Only "Root" can do thisthats what my entries in fstab look like:
/dev/hdd /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0Offline
The trick, my dear friend, is to pass only one argument to mount (like mount /dev/hdc). It takes the rest from fstab.
Additionally, you'd better set "auto" or "udf,iso9660" in the dvd line.

It's not that strange, only root is allowed to mount devices with custom options for the sake of security - when you give additional arguments, in this case where to mount, mount understands it as if you want to mount the device with other options than those set in fstab.
