I've had similar experiences with DaVinci Code and Casino Royal.
The error is:
Outputting to /big/MOVIE/CASINO/CASINO_ROYALE1-1.vob
16MB of 6834MB written (0 %)
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x05
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x05
My work around so that I can watch the movie I rented is to skip
over the problem area (probably intensional by Hollywood)
vobcopy -b 50m
Try adjusting the offset-size to your needs.
