I tried using an external USB DVD (well ... bluray plus dvd) device. After
pointing everything to /dev/dvd1, it showed up one time in the "import"
screen.

I rebooted without the internal DVD connected (only the external one
connected), but again nothing in the import screen. (The external DVD
still showed up as /dev/dvd1.)
