It really should not matter.  If you run ogle with --debug it should
print even more information.  You can also give the device name as an
argument to ogle, i.e. 'ogle --debug /dev/hdd' will try to use hdd and
if you use 'ogle --debug /media/dvdrecorder' (whatever that is) tries
that instead.  The default of /dev/dvd can also be changed in the
oglerc file, see man oglerc.

According to the output ogle/libdvdread/libdvdcss does not even get to
open the device, which is strange especially if unencrypted DVDs work.
