The log reveals the problem:

libdvdread: Can't stat /dev/dvd
No such file or directory
libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version svnR1169
libdvdnav: vm: failed to open/read the DVD
2010-08-08 13:31:14.493 Failed to open DVD device at /dev/dvd

Mythtv is looking for the dvd at /dev/dvd. This is apparently not what your
dvd device is set up as. You need to correct the device name in Mythfrontend
setup->Media settings->Videos settings->General settings page 3. In my
system the dvd is /dev/cdrom, it could be that on your system or it could be
/dev/dvd0 or something else.

Cheers,
Steve
