15 Sure they can be read and copied with ddrescue. On some disks at
16 least. This one, I copied with ddrescue:
17
18 $ xine dvd://${PWD}/some_rather_recent_dvd.iso
19 This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6.
20 (c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
21 libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.11 for DVD access

28 libdvdread: Elapsed time 0
29 [..]

31 and the xine plays the .iso as usual. On the other paw, there's other
32 discs where 'ddrescue' just causes those "scrambled sector" messages,
33 but the images made with k3b works just fine:
34
35 $ xine dvd://${PWD}/some_other_recent_dvd.iso

47 Go figure.
48
49 And, as I've said, there's other broken discs where k3b etc. won't
50 work either and you have to resort to copy only single titles ...
51
52 So, I generally try with ddrescue first and have a 'tail -f' on the
53 log (I filter those sr_mod messages to a seperate logfile[1] ;) Then
54 k3b (or brasero etc., an imaging program anyway). Then (by now)
55 dvdbackup. There are some alternatives, but I've basically given up on
56 those.
