Got a weird one - loaded a movie DVD into my Mac Mini (10.5.4). If I start DVD Player, it plays the movie. But otherwise, it seems to be completely invisible to the system - no icon appears on the desktop, no mounted volume on the left-side Finder bar (and yes, I have the appropriate Preferences setting for both). Handbrake doesn't see it at all either, which is the goal - I want to rip the movie to my iPhone. Anyone?

Open Terminal and cd to /Volumes. Does it show up there?
Try ls -lag
