  not having done much with DVDs recently i can't say much
about them.  i can say that i really hate having something 
automounted even when i tell the system to not do anything 
with it.

  i've not had a chance to test the recent MATE update to 
see if that is still an issue or not, but it sure did get 
my peeve up.

  my camera was being captured by gio or some other part of 
the desktop and i had ticked all the boxes and options to 
tell the desktop that i didn't want it touched at all when 
i plugged it in.

  in my script i have to do some fiddling around to make 
sure the device is unmounted and then remounted where i want
it (and that it is actually available).  i did get the 
script working and that is where it has to sit for now.  :)

  check to see if some desktop or other system widget has got 
ahold of it (udev, gio, gvfs, udisk2 and no, i don't know all 
other possible names or details about things that might be 
doing this sort of interference).

  good luck!
