Do you want to check the integrity or just see the files? If the latter most guis can just mount and view the data.

with the shell!?

With command line just mount it manually. First you need to find the dvd device name. Sometimes /dev/sr0 or /dev/dvd1. For example (one line at a time) as root run:
mkdir /mnt/dvd
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd
cd /mnt/dvd
ls

To unmount:
umount /mnt/dvd

You want to do it with the shell, or with a desktop? With kde or gnome, you just put the dvd in
and it opens.
