Well certainly the 'unable to open' needs fixing.
The format of a DVD is VERY picky since many dvd players don't actually
read the filesystem (which is UDF) but just the location of the first
file is fixed at the start of the disc and contains block offsets for
the remaining contents.
Of course copy protected movies have to be dealt with first before you
can even read the data.
Look for 'dvdbackup' package. vobcopy merges the files rather than
leave them in the original format.
