It is probably /dev/sda, but you are right, its hard to tell on that
information!

If so playing the dvd is something like:

xine dvd://dev/sda

Hello,

I have an external usb dvd drive. dmesg returns

  Vendor: BENQ      Model: DVD DD EW164B     Rev: BEFB
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 00
 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5
usb-storage: device scan complete

How can I play a dvd with it? What is the name of this device
to give as a parameter to the dvd player software (I use ogle)?

Best regards,

Steffen
