I know this subject comes up quite a bit.
Before posting, I tried searching other posts regarding this for a solution, but I haven't made progress so far.
When I su to root, I can burn a cd using mkisofs & cdrecord in a terminal.
But when I try to mount and play what I just burned, it does not work.
I tested the burned cd on another computer and the .avi file played fine on Windows, so the burn worked.
I cannot rip dvd's because I cannot mount the dvd media.
So, I'm must be missing something simple and fundamental because neither type of media can be mounted.
This is what I know so far about my setup:
1. I used this in my /etc/fstab as a result of dmesg results --
/dev/sr0 /media/dvd udf auto,user,rw 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom iso9660 auto,user,rw 0 0
2. Results of cdrecord and/or wodim -scanbus ---
bash-3.2# wodim -scanbus
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) '_NEC ' 'DVD_RW ND-3520A ' '1.04' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
0,2,0 2) *
3. Here's how my device reports in dmesg ---
ata1.00: ATAPI: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A, 1.04, max UDMA/33
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM _NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A 1.04 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
Driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
sr 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
I am using the stock kernel that came with the latest official core release of Arch Linux.
Thank you for reading. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

[SOLVED]
No idea why it's working now.
So far, I have success with the following as root user:
bash-3.2# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
and
bash-3.2# mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /media/dvd
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
It's getting way too late now......will try tomorrow putting "user" under video and optical in /etc/group and see if a user can mount media. I should be able to once I put "user" in my /etc/fstab but I'll have to do more reading.

The user in mind does have to belong to the optical group to mount/umount CD-ROM stuff... it's not just for burning.
