hmm interesting
cd and dvd filesystems are mostly iso9660 - but don't bother

try to (with sudo or as root ):

mkdir /home/yourdir
mount /dev/sr0 /home/yourdir

You generally mount in /mnt or /media ...

@ sezuor
'man mount'.

Did you create /home/dir first?
If you can burn CDs you should be in the optical group, but you can check tat too.

Post your fstab.

:: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /home/dir
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Did it get mounted?

Are you trying to mount a DVD that you burned yourself?  If so, I'd bet that it may have burned incorrectly.  Can you try mounting another DVD that you did not burn yourself?

Try

sudo mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /home/dir

That's a dvd fs type, too.

Is it an audioCD? A blank disc?

So it didn't burn correctly..

But I still can't mount a blank dvd.

And exactly what fs you have on a blank dvd?

Edit: typo.

Never heard of such a filesystem ;P
Sometimes you may need to umount the disk prior to burning it, but you don't need to mount it to burn.

Just for the record, audio CD's don't have a filesystem - it's just a stream of bits.

I tried to burn an mdf file without converting it to iso.

@OP - "man mount" will solve everything you need.

Please refrain from making flippant comments which can be construed as being insulting to some group of people. In general, if your grandmother or her grandmother wouldn't like it, don't say it. Closing thread.
