Doesn't work in either case.

Yes, it's there. But, as I told, if I try to cp files from the dvd, or dd
from it, I get I/O errors... Is it just a problem with UDF/Linux, or does
it mean that my dvd-drive (Model=MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8587) can't play this
(and other?) dvd. I checked it on a normal dvd-player in the store - the
disk is ok. But the drive works fine with CDs, also I was able to install
SuSE from a dvd, although I did get several errors and had to restart the
installation...
