Mount dvd disk

How do I extract the jpg images that are stored on my read-only dvd disk for saving to one of my Home folders? When I close the cd/dvd tray, the disk spins, but nothing happens.

When I insert a USB flash drive, this immediately pops up as a location in my file manager. Why isn't my dvd disk doing the same?

Hi

lots of possibilities causing the error
hardware issue?/has the dvd slot worked before?.....
please give hardware details of your machine and OS(dual boot/which windows?)

Could be damaged disk or dirty optical lens - have you ever used one of these or similar?:

I have fitted a SSD to my computer (previously running Zorin from a flash drive) and now the DVD drive works as it did when Windows was running the computer. So goodness knows why running from a flash drive -- using the flash drive I later used to install permanently -- cannot access the DVD drive ...

I have had similar issue today at work and that was because it was a disk with files and folders created in Windows. Is it a data DVD or a movie?
