What happens if you do something like this (of course, alter the file
names and such appropriately):
# mount -t udf /dev/dvd /dvd
$ mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dvd/VIDEO_TS

That should behave pretty much the same as playing the DVD directly. If
so, then you can safely tar up the entire VIDEO_TS directory and submit
it as per the bug reporting guidelines. If you don't have enough
upstream bandwidth to upload such a large file, though, I can't really
help you.
