This might not be what you want, but if you place a symlink of the dvd 
in the video directory, and use submount to mount your dvd, then 
whenever you insert a data dvd, cdrom or whatever, you will be able to 
see them in the list of movies.
You will not be able to copy them to the HD, but you can watch them.

| If I may interject... I am SOOOoooo looking for this feature too. 
Basically, I have a whole bunch of data DVDs with various stuff archived 
on them (shows, movies, clips, etc). Currently, I load them onto my 
MythTV box by inserting them into my Mac and copying them over the 
network. Of course, the WAF for this is very low. I would love to be 
able to insert one of these DVDs in the drive of my Myth box and 
navigate the directories to play the files directly from MythVideo.

somewhere and I just haven't found it.  ;-)

| If it were further possible to copy one of those files to the Myth 
box's HD directly from the MythTV UI (e.g. using the remote control), it 
would seriously lower the number of requests I get from my girlfriend 
for "tech support"
