I assume you're "mounting" it by clicking it with Konqueror in KDE (I
dunno if nautilus on gnome has the same behaviour).
In this case, you are not truly mounting it. HAL/KDE kioslaves guess the
kind of media you have inserted and try to behave as sensible as possible.
Sometimes with good results (for example when 'mounting' an audio-cd
-btw, an audio-cd is never properly mounted- you have virtual folders
with mp3, FLACs, etc. that allow you to rip a CD by simple
copy-and-paste).Sometimes not.

I know of two options:
a) mount the dvd by hand using 'mount' in a shell
b) emerge dvdrip, a truly good DVD backupping + ripping GUI tool, easy
to use yet full of options.
