My Debian install and Mplayer [binaries - sorry John ;)] require me to 
have a symlink to my DVD drive, which in this case is also a CD-RW drive 
and thus under scsi emulation:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 ryan     disk            4 Apr  7 12:38 /dev/dvd -> scd0

swap scd0 for hdc (by the looks of your fstab?) and there's a start.

As for the applications themselves, I'm not really the person to be
passing on advice about them. :)
