This is a software problem. See the following bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212640
Add your comments to this bug, it may help with the solution.

The problem is not related to Gnome as stated in the bug description, it happens with KDE too. However, you can playback the DVD anyway, it's just not automatically mounted, but it will still work if you mount it manually or if the software you're using to playback does it for you.
