> I've had similar experiences with DaVinci Code and Casino Royal.

Casino Royale is using something new.  It managed to trip up Mac The 
Ripper, which so far has had a 100% success rate for me.

In general the Sony infections imbed bad sectors on the disks in locations 
that a DVD player parsing the data stream will skip over.  In most cases 
if you ignore the read errors and just carry on, things work fine (MTR 
does this to good effect).  I don't know what the latest trick is.

Make sure to return your DVDs for a refund, and send a letter to the 
manufactures telling them to go fsck themselves.
