The issue is that I'm trying to read some 2-3 year old "movie" DVD-Rs
and they're all at some point failing.
I thought cdparanoia was DVDparanoia. I mean, for DVDs as well. Shows

Audio CDs cannot be guaranteed 100% faithfully copied, for annoying

why some CDs would ruin your speakers.[0] DVDs are just (encrypted)
video files. So, yeah, that's the reason. Not that it's not possible,
but that it's not necessary.

0. The Avatar DVDs are DRMed-up, too. I don't know how this works for
DVDs, but they won't play in Blu-Ray players, and not even in all DVD
players. Worse than pointless. Actually evil...
