Re: dvd::rip errors out while ripping title.

Many DVDs have read-errors built into them:  ARccOS structured copy 
protection.

What I do when this happens is use ddrescue to make an ISO image:

         ddrescue -n -b 2048 /dev/scd0 name-of-disk.iso name-of-disk.log

Depending on the read errors, this can take many hours to do.  But once 
it is finished I mount the ISO:

    sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 name-of-disk.iso /mnt/iso

And run dvdrip on the mounted ISO.  A few times, I had to kill ddrescue 
after 24 hours, but the ISO was still mountable, and the rip went off 
without a hitch.

Hope this helps.
