Well, it seems +VR discs don't use the same file names (and probably content/format) as standard DVD discs.

VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd'. Check the log for details.

Has it logged anything to /var/log/(something)?

Hmm, a quick search implies there might be a vlc-log.txt file somewhere. Check your home directory.

What's my next step?  Presumably it's a permissions problem.

I don't think it's permissions (you did log right out and in again after adding yourself to the crdom group, right?)

What is the meaning of user ID and group ID 4294967295 anyway?

Convert those values to Hex and you get FFFFFFFF (or -1). It's a dummy value. Probably to avoid matching with any exisiting user/group IDs.

Should I copy the VR_MANGR.IFO and VR_MOVIE.VRO files as root and change their permissinos?

Try opening the VR_MOVIE.VRO file directly from VLC. Some searching implies that might work.

Should I run vlc as root?

That's generally not a good idea.

 Should I try to chmod the files on the DVD itself?  Would that even work?

I doubt that will work.

Good luck trying to read that disc.
I hope I've helped a little.
