Update that libvolume_id has fixed data CD and movie DVD.

There is a simple problem, I couldn't eject data CD and movie DVD by push  
eject button on the DVD driver. I get error message, 'Cannot eject  
volume'. Strange, the eject button works great on blank DVD+R but not on  
data CD and movie DVD. I had to right click on the data CD or movie DVD  
icon on desktop then click on 'Eject', then icon will disappear with same  
error message. After that I am able to push on eject button to get disc  
out.

BTW: Your n-c-b patch in previous email has fixed problem too.
