How are you trying to mount the DVD's? If you are using the
graphical desktop, such as Gnome or KDE, and you have not turned off
auto-mounting, then data DVD's should show up as a directory off of
/media. With video DVD's, you normally use a program such mplayer to
play them. For encrypted DVD's (most commercial DVD's), you need to
add the proper codex  - usualy from one of hte non-redhat repo's.
There have been long threads on why they are not included in the
default install...
