Problem viewing DVDs

[Jens Schweikhardt]

hello, world\n

I'm trying to view a "Friends" DVD (original) on my 8-Current system
but none of the dvd viewer apps (eg. ogle and mplayer) work.
Investigating I found that I can mount the DVD as a cd9660 file
system, but all the *.vob files result in an I/O error when read,
while all the non-vobs can be read just fine:

and for each file dmesg says
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x6f ascq=0x03
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=5834752, length=65536)]error = 5

Is this a case of some kind of DRM protection I'm seeing here?
Am I missing something else? The drive is a
acd0: DVDR <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22LS50/TL00> at ata8-master SATA150
(LG GH22) on a Asus P5Q3 Deluxe with Intel P45/ICH10R chipset.
