I've been thinking DRM, too, the last couple times this came up. Just
tried a search with an odd option coming back in answer. Some users
have success opening a seemingly broken DVD in VLC and THEN e.g.dd
copying while the DVD is still busy with VLC. They're scratching their
heads wondering why it works. All they can figure out is that it just
does.. sometimes.

Handbrake was high up in the search engine results for my "will drm
block dd from copying dvd" query. I've seen Handbrake mentioned here a
couple times already, but there it is again.
