Many DVD's come with a bridged filesystem (iso9660+udf) so you can read 
them as normal CD-ROMs in a DVD drive. For those that are UDF only, you 
need a kernel that has the DVD ioctls. This means 2.2.16 or newer, if I 
remember correctly. Check out the mentioned DVD-playing howto for details 
on this. When you have the kernel ioctls in place, simply mount the DVD as 
you would any other device (the filesystem type is either iso9660 or udf, 
depending on the disc).
