The -s switch is documented in the mount_cd9660 man page.  There are 
no examples that are specific to DVD's in the man page however.

There are no PR's for this issue that I can find.  It is odd though, I 
can't be the first person to ever mount a data DVD.  There are 
several posts in the -questions archives but none of them seem to  
get the issue resolved.

This is a typical post which never gets a reply.
