I should add that if there is another tool to try for dumping the
original DVD I'm open to suggestions. It does seem that libdvdread
has the problem though. VLC also uses libdvdread on Linux and
exhibited the same types of errors. MakeMKV did not have such
errors and the DVD plays fine on DVD and BR players as well as
Windows DVD viewing apps like MediaPlayer.
