Here's my udev rules for the myth DVD player:

selene:/etc/udev# grep -r myth *
rules.d/71-local-cd.rules:ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", 
ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="SONY_DVD-ROM_DDU1615_############-0:0", 
SYMLINK+="dvdplayer/myth", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
rules.d/91-permissions.rules:        OWNER="mythtv", GROUP="mythtv", 
MODE="0660"
