wow, dvdisaster is starting to appear really crippled (at least from
where i'm standing).

it's late and i'm tired of writing bug reports for what now appears to be
deliberate on the part of the author, so i'll try to keep this short.

the following patch allows dvdisaster to operate on encrypted/copyrighted
DVDs.

the patch was tested by "reading" an encrypted/copyrighed DVD and playing
the resulting ISO file (on a loopback device) with mplayer.

yeah, you'll never be able to make an exact copy of a DVD that includes CSS
(except maybe on a consumer DVD drive with a hacked firmware) with the keys
being written on the disc's lead-in and all, and maybe that's why the
author disabled operating on those DVDs, but this doesn't present a
problem to me, so dvdisaster shouldn't care and make this so difficult
(having to patch the source and all).

explanation: i plan on using dvdisaster to create ECC files for all my
movies, and if/when the discs fail in the future, i can recreate the image
with dvdisaster, create a decoded copy with vobcopy, and burn that for
viewing on DVD players.  of course i could always do that from the
beginning, but i don't want to have to deal with storing a full copy when i
can just store a relatively small ECC file.  plus, dual-layer DVD+/-R discs
should be reasonably priced by the time i need to recreate a movie.
