It reads directly from the device...

See Clemens Kirchgatterer's posting :-)

Basically you could do something like
if [ -h /dev/dvd ] ; then
  mount -o loop /dev/dvd /media/dvd
else
  mount /dev/dvd
fi

instead of the plain mount inside mount.sh. Don't have the time to test, since 
I'm responding from holiday :-) But maybe this gives you a start...

Greetings,
Sascha
