He could be using unencrypted DVDs (they exist). If someone has one can anybody verify they also have the problem or not? But the report is valid: I have seen it on a number of DVD players. a simple grep -R whatever * on /mnt/cdrom can trigger it. Usually the data can be read eventually (after 3 or 4 tries), so it only slows down the dvd reading. Perhaps, and this is just a crazy idea, you can try to play with the multiple sector mode of the dvd drive (use hdparm for this) to see if setting it to a different value helps. I will try it as well. danny
