Try running
ogle /dev/cdroms/cdrom1

and if that works you can make /dev/dvd point to that device with
ln -s /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /dev/dvd
and then you should be able to run just 'ogle'
or you can change the default dvd device in the oglerc file.
If you run ogle --check you should get a list of available dvd devices.

You can also run ogle on the mounted directory. If you have the dvd mounted
on /mnt/cdrom you can run 'ogle /mnt/cdrom'
